  T. Rex. 
   
  One of the most iconic and fearsome creatures to ever walk the Earth. But how did the King of the Dinosaurs come to dominate our culture millennia after its extinction? 
   
  In this engaging young readers edition of The Monster’s Bones, David K. Randall journeys from prehistory to present day on a gripping, gritty expedition through the history of one of the world’s greatest scientific discoveries. At its heart are two men from vastly different backgrounds: socialite Henry Fairfield Osborn, the president of the fledgling—and struggling—American Museum of Natural History, and intrepid fossil hunter Barnum Brown, who blazed a path out of his small-town life in Kansas with an uncanny gift for uncovering dinosaur bones. When Brown digs up the first Tyrannosaurus rex in 1902, he sets in motion a ruthless race between millionaires, museums, cowboys, and bounty hunters eager to unearth the most formidable dinosaur in history for themselves. With the nation’s public in a frenzy over the discovery of this colossal creature, Brown and Osborn know that whoever claims the bones of the king first reigns supreme. 
   
  Compelling and immersive, The Monster’s Bones reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited new understanding of our planet’s history and our place within it.

  MEET ALFIE… THE BOY WHO COULD DO WHAT HE LIKED! 
  Previously published for World Book Day 2016 
  Alfie has a routine. To be honest he has a lot of routines. 
  But then one day Alfie’s babysitter is unavailable, and Alfie’s parents get Mrs Stokes instead. Mrs Stokes doesn’t do routines. Instead, she just tells Alfie to do what he likes. And that’s when things start to go weird. 
  Does everything get hilariously out of control? Yes. 
  Does Alfie learn a valuable lesson? Nah. This isn’t that kind of story… 
  DISCOVER CHRISSIE… THE GIRL WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON A TRAIN! 
  Chrissie loves trains. She has train books, train pictures – and, of course, model trains. But Chrissie has never been on an actual train. In part, because Chrissie doesn't find getting around as easy as other people. Then, Chrissie finally gets on a train, with her Grandpa Henry, to go down to London for an important operation. Her parents and Henry hope the journey will take Chrissie's mind off things. 
  And they're right: but in a way they couldn't possibly imagine. Because Chrissie's trip from Scotland to London turns out to be quite literally magical – and changes her life forever. 
  MARVEL AT ARIEL… THE CHILD WHO HAD NEVER BEEN ON HOLIDAY! 
  Every year, Max, Lily and Jack are taken to Snoring-On-Sea for their holiday – quite possibly the most boring town in the world. There’s nothing to do and nothing to see – even the beach at Snoring-on-Sea is dull and grey. 
  But this year, something DOES happen. The children meet someone on a tiny island out at sea – a mysterious child called Ariel. Ariel claims to have never left their tiny island, and to Ariel, everything about Max, Lily and Jack’s lives is amazing – fish and chips, fizzy drinks… even the view of the brick wall out of their bedroom window. 
  And their new friend forces Max, Lily and Jack to see Snoring-On-Sea in a whole new light… 
  Three hilarious, heart-warming and adventure-filled stories that will have you laughing out loud! 
  David Baddiel, the Sunday Times bestselling author, brings us Only Children, a top juvenile fiction that is as humorous as it is fantastical. The family's journey, filled with travel and transportation, is a testament to his ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
