All aboard please! Our new series of fact-based books for children feature a magic steam engine which takes readers on exciting journeys to unknown worlds.
The magic engine is home to Professor Zweistein, the caretaker at the kindergarten in the old railway station. Professor Zweistein knows everything, and his magic engine transports him and the children to the most unusual and exciting places - amidst bellows of steam and noise.
This time they are heading into the land of dinosaurs, where a wonderful world is waiting to be discovered - that is until they encounter the dangerous Tyrannosaurus rex and have to flee from his sharp teeth. Luckily, they then meet the friendly Maiasaura Maja who helps them out and even shows them her young family. The children's trip thus teaches them all about the life and times of these prehistoric giants in an exciting and entertaining way.
