Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £2.24
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In this charming blend of fiction and non-fiction, Robin Cunningham introduces children to the Little tuatara, who doesn't realise his amazing ancestry, until his new friend, the Storm Petrel, tells him about the great dinosaurs that used to rule the earth. to his amazement, the Little tuatara learns that he and his kind are the last of the dinosaurs - the oldest living animals left on earth. When Robin Cunningham told this little story she'd made up for her granddaughter to a class of American children, she was amazed to see their wonder and delight, and the idea for the Little tuatara was born. Superbly illustrated by an exciting new artist, the Little tuatara's story is brought to life in vivid, colourful illustrations and text that will enthral, fascinate and in the most subtle way educate children about our most extraordinary living fossil - the last link to the dinosaurs. With significant international potential, this little story will do for tuatara what Diary of A Wombat has done for Australian marsupials - watch out world, here he comes!
