I'm looking for a dinosaur book I had when I was a kid. I can't remember what it was called [ I was too young to read it, and I just looked at the pictures and let my imagination go wild]

here's what I remember:

1. I had the book when I was 4 or 5, so this book was published in or before 1993.
2. I remember the book having a red/orange cover. It was a hardcover book.
3. The book was about 1-2 inches thick.
4. It was full of full-color illustrations, many of these were someone gruesome, showing the dinosaurs eating each other and stuff. [I really don't know if it was a kids book]. the illustrations were large, mainly half to full-page illustrations.

I remember very vividly a drawing showing plesiosaurs coming out of the water on sandy beach. [to the left?]

I know it's a longshot, I know it's ridiculous. This book went everywhere with me when I was young. literally everywhere. I miss it, and it is one of the very few parts of my childhood I want to relive.


does anyone know what book this is?
 
When were you a kid? Are we talking 60's. 70's or 80's???? (or 90's??)

missed your 1993 date....Cannot really help....i am too old and my kids too young!
 
Not the book you are looking for but I'll recommand it to you since you're now all grown up and I doubt mere pictures would hold your interest for long.

Title : Expert Guide - Dinosaurs (From Allosaurus to Tyrannosaurus)

This book is awesome. Its like a dinosaur encyclopedia. The front few pages are information on the different types of Era existed during the time of dinosaurs. Then there are 297 pages. Each contains a different prehistoric animal (ancient invertebrates, dinosaurs, early mammals).

There is a picture of it. A brief description of the creature and information such as:


  • Fossil location
  • Diet
  • Pronunciation
  • Length
  • Height
  • Weight
  • Meaning of name
I'm sure this book would interest you
 
if u were a kid in 93 your still probly a kid. enjoy what time u have left
