Award-winning nonfiction author and science specialist Melissa Stewart
offers young readers a mega-exploration of little-known prehistoric
predators that rival even the mightiest of dinosaurs!
It is time for T. rex and his dinosaur cousins to step aside and let
other mega-predators like the terror bird and the giant ripper lizard
take the spotlight! Travel back to prehistoric times and meet some of
the most impressive creatures to ever roam the Earth.
You'll be amazed at the size and the fierceness of these lesser-known
predators, many of them ancient ancestors of animals that we still see
today.
Stewart's cheeky, humorous voice--along with a comical version of the
familiar "comparison man"--put these creatures in perspective. Artist
and former zoologist Howard Gray brings these predators (back) to life
with dynamic, humorous, and scientifically accurate illustrations.
Sidebars and extensive back matter material provide more detailed
information and context.
