On the right side of the image, a group of cartoon dinosaurs peek out from dense tropical foliage and tall ferns. Several long-necked dinosaurs stand upright in the background with wide eyes and cheerful expressions, while in the foreground a fierce-looking T-rex-type dinosaur snarls with an angry expression and bared teeth. Smaller dinosaurs with googly, surprised eyes poke their heads through the greenery at various heights. The scene is set outdoors in a lush prehistoric jungle environment with large leafy plants in teal and green tones. The left ~40% of the image is a plain muted teal background reserved for text.

Roar! A big rex is in the plants. Dinosaurs peek out at him. All blink and blink, but all just stand and look.

On the left and centre of the image, a colourful lineup of cartoon-style dinosaurs stands arranged by size from smallest to largest, all facing left with friendly, wide-eyed expressions and toothy grins. The parade ranges from tiny raptor-like dinosaurs on the far left up through mid-sized theropods and sauropods, culminating in two enormous long-necked sauropods towering above the rest. A tiny human figure stands on the far right at ground level for scale, dwarfed by even the mid-sized dinosaurs. The background is plain white, with the right side open for text.

Dinosaurs come in all sorts. Some are tiny, and some are big. A man stands at the end. He is very tiny next to them!

A pack of five small bipedal dinosaurs runs together across the bottom right portion of the image, all moving in the same direction toward the right with sharp, eager expressions and legs pumping fast. They stride across sandy ground with tall, soft-hued prehistoric plants and ferns in warm yellow, orange, and pink tones behind them. The upper left area of the image is open white space suitable for text overlay.

Tiny hunters dash past in a pack. All run fast, fast, fast on the sand. Rex is not glad, but the pack runs on and on.

On the left side of the image, a large carnivorous dinosaur (resembling a T. rex) stands in a menacing pose with its mouth wide open, revealing rows of sharp, jagged teeth. It has a fierce, angry expression with narrowed eyes and small clawed arms raised. The dinosaur is mid-stride on dusty, sandy ground surrounded by prehistoric palm trees and low scrubby plants that fade into soft silhouettes in the warm afternoon light. The right side of the image is plain white background, clear for text overlay.

Snap! Rex snaps his big mouth. Look at all his sharp teeth. His teeth can rip and cut and crunch.

Page 5
In the lower half of the image, two long-necked sauropod dinosaurs walk side by side across a flat, open plain, with a larger one behind and a smaller one in front, both with gentle, curious expressions on their faces. Soft, hazy rock formations rise in the background on the left and right. Warm afternoon light bathes the scene. The top portion of the image is plain white background, clear for text overlay.

Long necks roam the plain in the sun. Red, tan, or blue? Rex bets he is red.

On the right side of the image, a cartoon theropod dinosaur stands mid-stride in a prehistoric outdoor setting, mouth open with a surprised, comical expression showing its teeth, with small clawed arms outstretched. The dinosaur is depicted with smooth, scaly skin and without feathers — representing the outdated understanding of theropod appearance mentioned in the text. It is surrounded by soft green bushes and stylised purple tropical plants against a plain light background on the left.

This dinosaur has smooth skin. But this is a fact. Some dinosaurs are kin to hens! Rex gasps. Him, kin to a hen?

On the left side of the image, a large green long-necked plant-eating dinosaur stands upright with a gentle, watchful expression, looking down toward two smaller baby dinosaurs nestled among low prehistoric plants and foliage at its feet. The two young dinosaurs peer up with wide, curious eyes and tiny smiles. Tall reddish-orange prehistoric plants frame the scene on the far left, while the right side of the image is open white background suitable for text overlay.

A big long neck looks at her nest. Tiny dinosaurs peek up from the plants. Rex nods. Very sweet.

Page 8
On the right side of the image, a small bipedal dinosaur strides forward on its hind legs in a walking pose, with its short arms reaching out in front and its long tail stretched out behind for balance. The dinosaur has wide, curious eyes and looks alert as it moves through an afternoon scene with tall, feathery fern-like plants surrounding it. The left side of the image is plain white background, free of detail.

A tiny dinosaur trots past on its back legs. Its feet mark the sand. A footprint is a clue, and Rex can check it.

Page 9
On the left side of the image, a friendly cartoon dinosaur (resembling a prosauropod) stands upright on its two strong hind legs with a happy, curious expression, its front limbs raised like arms in front of its chest with small pale claws. The dinosaur is teal-turquoise with a yellow belly, mottled orange markings running along its back and tail, and a small orange crest on its head. It has a long neck and tail, and is surrounded by low prehistoric-looking green shrubs and orange-trunked cycad-like plants on warm, sandy yellow ground. The right side of the image fades to a plain white background.

This dinosaur has big arms and a strong grip. It can grab and clutch and dig. Rex checks his tiny arms and is a bit sad.

Page 10
A T-rex stands on the right side of the image in a powerful upright pose, mouth slightly open with teeth visible, gripping a small wriggling creature in its notably short but strong arms. The dinosaur has a slightly humorous, determined expression. The scene is set outdoors against a backdrop of soft, hazy rocky hills and dusty ground, with the left side of the image open as plain background.

But look! Rex grips a grub in his arms. His arms are short but strong. Tiny is not bad at all.

Page 11
On the left side of the image, three long-necked dinosaurs (sauropods) stand together in a group on rocky ground, all facing slightly right with their necks raised and friendly, smiling expressions as if they know a secret. Their long tails sweep and intertwine behind them to the left. Brown rocky formations rise in the background behind them, with the right side of the image opening to plain white/light background.

Up on the rocks, the long necks grin and grin. All keep a secret. The facts are not all in yet. Not for Rex. Not for you. Not for them.

Page 12
On the right side of the image, a T-Rex stands tall among small prehistoric trees and bushes, roaring but with a proud expression on its face. The scene is set outdoors in a warm, sunlit prehistoric landscape with soft pastel clouds in the sky. The left side of the image is open white/light background, suitable for text overlay.

Rex stands in the sun and roars. He can not get all the facts, but he can dig and ask and hunt for them. Dig, ask, and roar! Roar, roar, dinosaurs!
