If your kid loves dinosaurs I am convinced you will have a hard time getting your iPhone or iPad back after you install this awesome e-book. And why is that?

Cause this time Oceanhouse Media released a totally different kind of ebook, one that takes you back in time with 65 million years and allows you to see a glimpse of a T-Rex life and accompany “her” while hunting.

Although this ebook (for iPhone and iPad) is targeting children, adults too have a lot to learn from it. It’s instructive and also fun cause its illustrations are really accurate and carefully reviewed by paleontologists at the Smithsonian Institution and their level of detail will impress children and adults altogether.

Enough chatting, let’s start this amazing adventure and see how T-Rex was searching for food in those prehistoric times.

First, we meet a baby Ankylosaur that hides from T Rex and saves herself from being eaten.
