Review:

There are plenty of creatures from long ago that we’ve never heard of. This guide comes with a timeline of bizarre creatures, when they existed and even what they may have looked like. Readers can examine colorful illustrations done in vibrant water colors which brings these creatures to life.

The cameroceros, a distant relative of the squid, existed 450 million years ago. It’s protective shell could grow as long s 29 feet. Only one skeleton has been discovered for the longisquana, a reptile that existed 230 million years ago. There is still discussion on what it may have looked like. The procoptodon goliah, looks like a cross between a kangaroo and lion. The megaloceros or irish elk was found east of Ireland, North Africa and even in China. It was large and looked like a giraffe and elk combined

Many of the creatures found in this guide look similar to the animals that rome our planet today. Readers can enjoy learning about the creatures who roamed the earth, what they were and so much more. Parents and teachers can share with kids the amazing beasts.
