BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
45 extinct beasts, many of them huge, all of them amazing. Each 2-page spread contains a large illustration, a list of stats (size, weight, time period, diet) and then a paragraph or two about them. Presented chronologically from 500 million years ago to less than 100 years ago.
The terminology is easily understandable and scientifically accurate. Not overloaded with information, the illustrations are visually stunning and well representative of the animals. I showed Forgotten Beasts to my daughter who works in the paleontology lab at the Natural History Museum of Utah and she was absolutely gushing about it.
