PNSO Encyclopedia for Children
The Secrets of Dinosaurs/The Secrets of Pterosaurs/The Secrets of Ancient Sea Monsters
by Zhao Chuang (Illustrator), Yang Yang (Writer)
As a set of popular science books created for children, the three books: The Secrets of Dinosaurs, The Secrets of Pterosaurs, and The Secrets of Ancient Sea Monsters, from the PNSO Encyclopedia for Children series, respectively depict the dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles lived in the Mesozoic. Featured with dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles as the main characters, the three volumes present individual species in the form of scientific art life reconstruction images and concise and interesting words. The restoration of every animal strictly follows the available scientific discoveries and integrates scientific research results into artistic creation, which makes these both scientifically rigorous and artistically creative. Zhao Chuang uses his brush to create delicate, beautiful, and scientific restoration images so that children can observe ancient creatures more intuitively; Yang Yang turns complex scientific knowledge into simple and interesting words so that children can also think and learn in easy-to-read stories.
