Discover the biggest creatures to have roamed the Earth, past and
present, from the outright biggest - such as the colossal blue whale and
the dinosaur Argentinosaurus
"The clear organization and bite-sized chunks of information make this
quite accessible to young lovers of animals past and present....an
appealing collection for readers who like superlatives."--Kirkus
Reviews
"Even the most enthusiastic animal or dinosaur fan will find much new to
wonder about in this well-illustrated informational book about weird and
wonderful big beasts. Divided into three major sections-- 'Forests and
Plains, ' 'Rivers and Seas, ' and 'Giants of Today'--....A solid
purchase with broad appeal."--School Library Journal
In addition to the largest animals on Earth, discover species that grew
to monstrous sizes compared to others of their kind, such as the giant
kangaroos of Australia, otters the size of wolves, and Argentavis, a
giant bird with a wingspan almost as long as a bus!
You'll meet the giants of the jungle, desert, swamp, sea, ice, and sky
through vibrantly illustrated scenes of them in their natural habitats,
and compare the size of these humongous creatures to humans. A gatefold
spread unfolds to reveal a line-up of all the giants featured in the
book, to scale, while a visual timeline shows when they roamed the
Earth.
