The most recent Ice Age is the period during which modern man and mammals appeared. Prehistoric World Books combine dramatic, scientifically accurate color illustrations with a wealth of factual details based on archaeological findings to give young readers a vivid picture of the exotic succession of animals that inhabited the Earth in the prehistoric era. Dating back to perhaps 300 million years ago, with the earliest-known life forms, the six titles in this series carry the history of animal life forward to man-like creatures such as homo erectus, and finally to prehistoric homo sapiens, or human beings like ourselves, whose origins date back an estimated 200,000 years. Individual species are presented on two-page spreads that show large illustrations of the animal when it was alive, photos of reconstructed fossil skeletons, and a list of descriptive factual details. These books are great sources for elementary school class projects, or simply for fun reading....

Agustinia was a giant, four-footed plant eater with strange plates and spikes running down its back. Achelousaurus would have looked a lot like its relative Triceratops, if Triceratops' horns had been snapped off. Feathered Guanlong looked as fierce as its cousin T. rex - but Guanlong was only 10 feet long. These three plus nine more new discoveries join everyone's favorites - such as Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and T. rex - for a feast of more than 80 fascinating dinosaurs. They are here in all their glory, walking, hunting, feeding, running, and raising their young.Short text takes young readers into the science behind the beasts. Young readers will find more than new dinosaurs here. This popular book has been fully updated to match the latest scientific findings. Changes to the text and art have been made throughout.

The journey back to the Age of Dinosaurs has never been so strange or fascinating as it is today....
