Weirdosaurus by Phillip Bunting

Weirdosaurus takes a playful peek at prehistory’s strangest dinosaurs—those with bizarre features, odd builds or surprising habits. Bunting groups them across the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, weaving in maps, continental drift and quirky fact bubbles. 

Published September 2025, this edition brings over 80 peculiar dinosaurs to life with humour, vivid illustration, and scientific curiosity. You’ll see feathered beasts with frills, hear the imagined calls of giant flyers, smell dusty bones, and giggle at witty annotations. Tropes: quirky science, playful natural history, curiosity meets humour.
