That very book was my introduction to a life-long dino bug too, also at 
the age of three (back in 1965-66). I was captivated by the bizarre 
pictures - and looking at them again recently, they ARE bizarre -  and 
was intrigued even then, that these creatures ceased to exist millions 
of years ago, as my father had vividly explained.

Then in 1967, Kelloggs started printing cut-out dinosaur dioramas on 
the backs of Cornflakes boxes... at least I THINK this occurred... if 
anyone else from the land downunder remembers these, please get in 
touch!
