A colourful and comical tour through the prehistoric animal kingdom from award-winning author Mike Barfield and cartoonist and illustrator Paula Bossio.

Featuring a variety of creatures that roamed Earth in prehistoric times, from giant woolly mammoths to hunting dinosaurs to fearsome Megalodons, this book is full of fascinating facts about what these animals looked like, where they lived and how they survived (or didn’t) in the most extreme of conditions.

Split into three chapters – the Paleozoic Era, the Mesozoic Era and the Cenozoic period – the book covers animals and habitats from all over the world, with each creature telling its own life story. Also featured are ‘Wild Style’ pages, which shows how creatures have adapted to their environments, and ‘Living Legends’ pages, where modern animals, such as jellyfish, look back to their earliest ancestors.

Written by Mike Barfield and brought to life with quirky illustrations by Paula Bossio, this is a funny, accessible guide to a world full of astounding animals that are very different from the ones we see today.
