About this title

From the Inside Flap:

(back cover)
The World of DINOSAURS
and Other Prehistoric Life

Packed with vivid color illustrations and a wealth of factual information, this book describes many of the dinosaurs that dominated the Earth over scores of millennia. Readers also discover exotic prehistoric creatures that both preceded and followed the dinosaurs, starting with trilobites, the EarthÂ’s earliest-known animal forms. Ancestors of todayÂ’s crustaceans and insects, trilobites became extinct roughly 245 million years ago. Chapters that follow describe:

Triassic life—early amphibians and reptiles

Jurassic life—the first dinosaurs

Cretaceous life—dominated by great dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus Rex

Ancient Mammals—including the wooly mammoth and the saber-toothed tiger

The Ice Age—and the rise of the earliest apes

Representative species from each prehistoric era are dramatically illustrated on two-page spreads that include photos of reconstructed fossil skeletons and summary descriptions.
