Got your eggs yet? Some come pretty big…<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never met a kid who didn\u2019t love dinosaurs, and that gleeful fascination doesn\u2019t fade with age or what we laughingly regard as maturity. Ted Rechlin clearly ascribes to that belief too, and has made it his life\u2019s work, whether it\u2019s in his 30+ books (including End of the Ice Age<\/strong>, Jurassic<\/strong>, Epsilon: a Yellowstone Wolf<\/strong> Story<\/strong>, Howl<\/strong>, Comicquest Time Travel Trouble<\/strong> or the award-winning Sharks: A 400 Million Year Journey<\/strong>) or superhero stuff such as freelance commissions for the likes of DC Comics, Dark Horse or Dover Publications.<\/p>\n

Rex Generations<\/strong> is an incredibly informative and engaging book about family, rendered with great deftness, gleeful aplomb, and packed with the latest scientific thinking regarding arguably the most famous species of big lizard (or is that bird?) on Earth.<\/p>\n

In case you weren\u2019t paying attention, the clan in question is thundering great tyrannosaur Cobalt <\/em>and his feisty mate Sierra<\/em>, just getting by in what is nowadays Hell Creek, Montana.
\n\"\"
\nThis stunning full-colour hardback, however, opens in the Mesozoic bit of the Cretaceous Period, or approximately 66 million years ago on a very special night. Here our anxious apex predators proudly celebrate the hatching of four eggs, heralding the start of a new generation, after which we\u2019ll closely follow the pack over the next decade or so. The parents teach and provide in a casually lethal environment packed with a wide variety of dangerously capable prey, rival predators and unknown perils of every description.<\/p>\n

This is dinosaurs and natural history, not Lady and the Tramp<\/strong> with really big teeth, so brace yourself and your own youngsters with a little spoiler alert: not everybody present at this antediluvian nativity is going to make it…
\n\"\"
\nCompelling, beguilingly educational and splendidly entertaining, T. Rex Generations<\/strong> is a glorious celebration of Earth\u2019s earlier Saurian inhabitants and our enduring love affair with them. Get this read the rest and go wild!
