Dinosaur Explorers Vol 3: Playing in the Permian continues the adventures of the Dinosaurs Explorers. Still trapped in the past, their jumps through time have brought them to the Permian. The first Permian jump lands them in the Carboniferous, the Age of Insects, as Dr da Vinci says. Exploring the territory lands the boys in a cave full of giant spiders. They escape using massive dragonflies, and have run-ins with titanic millipedes, centipedes, and roaches. The next jump brings the gang to the late Permian, where they find a Dimetrodon egg. It hatches and they attempt to find a family for the little fellow. Doing so leads them into confrontations with other denizens of the era like Eryops and Icthyostega, among others. The book ends with them still stuck in the past. I love this series! I'm sorry to have missed the second one, but am looking forward to the next one! Dude, giant spiders are in no way, shape, or form acceptable. I have to agree with Sean here. Even though I like insects, and tolerate spiders… just not okay. Nope. I quite enjoyed seeing creatures that are in my Jurassic World game, and learning more about them in-depth. Perfect for the budding paleontologists in your life, or any who love dinosaurs and prehistory.à
