Totally Prehistoric Beasts

Silver Dolphin Books

 

Step back into prehistoric days to see what life was like in the wilds. Five prehistoric beasts will come to life--easy-to-assemble, interchangable parts create bizarre animals that dominated the earth of those days: a Woolly Mammoth...Smilodon...Gastornis...Entelodont...and Doedicurus.

Creative kids can even come up with new beasts of their own!

 

Designed with ages 8 & up in mind, this amazing kit offers an educational peek into the distant past. A handy storage box serves as a carrying case, and a 32-page book is tucked inside. Discover the secrets of prehistoric beasts, thanks to author Dennis Schatz and Illustrator Bob Greisen, a talented team whose combined work transports readers back 65 million years. To add extra interest, they compare those early creatures to comparable animals we know today. For example, some prehistoric birds such as the Gastornis, grew to almost six feet tall! (Have you seen a tweety bird that size recently?)

 

Colorful sidebars add extra information on size, time period in which a creature lived, and special characteristics you probably haven't heard of until now. Full-color illustrations show the beasts in everyday life, interacting with other animals, rearing their young, and hunting for food. The book ends with a page about how dinosaur remains become fossils.

 

This is a must-have kit for curious kids and grownups alike.
