When young Tim (aged 7-10?) arrives at his grandparent's house in the country he is horrified to discover there is no internet and no television. Trying to allay his fears the world hasn't come to an end his grandfather and grandmother encourage him to explore the surrounding countryside, which include some amazing rock formations, know as dinosaur rocks. Once he enters the formation he discovers a cave and a friendly-feathered dinosaur who takes him through to a world filled with dinosaurs. They have an exciting time in the land time forgot and return in time for dinner.

The illustrations are nicely executed with the dinosaurs moving and responding to each other as appropriate to our current understanding. The illustrations render the text nicely and have a lot of detail for young readers to explore. The change in angles and points of view add interest to the story which is fast paced and exciting. This is a beautifully illustrated picture book which would be suitable for children aged 4 and up.
