Billie and the Dinosaurs
Interviews with Tim Ferguson, Geoff and David Willis
Three hundred million years ago, the world of the dinosaurs was
called Pangea - a landmass that covered half the Earth until it
broke into two supercontinents - Laurasia and Gondwanaland, which
then broke into even more pieces, the largest of which was the
island continent of Australia.
Then, a great asteroid smashed into the Earth. And this started the
Ice Age!
And just like that, the dinosaurs were gone. Extinct. At least
that’s what Mrs Chalkmore taught her Year 4 class; and only one of
her students knew that she was completely and utterly wrong - a
girl called Billie.
