This is a non-fiction book about dinosaurs. The book is in chronological order, and in the back is a prehistoric time periods timeline. Despite its silly name, the book is very factual. Each page has years written across the top to determine the time period. There are pictures of dinosaurs with their names and facts about them, pictures of plants and facts about the earth's climate at the time. Along with all of the factual information, there are jokes dispersed throughout and funny poems on many of the pages.
