Enough with unicorns and dinosaurs – show children the magic of real, living animals instead | Isabel Losada

Has it ever struck you as interesting the amount of dinosaur products that are marketed to boys and unicorn products to girls?

I recently visited the wonderful Horniman Museum in south London, only to discover that it had been taken over by something called Dinosaur rEvolution. Hertfordshire zoo offers a World of Dinosaurs, there is the roarsome" theatre show Dinosaur World: Live, a dinosaur-themed park in Norfolk called ROARR!, Dinosaur World in Torquay, Dinosaur Park near Swansea, Dino Park in Dumfries - the list is as long as the neck of a brontosaurus.
