Learning new things can be fun and humorous, join bestselling children's book author P. T. Hersom as he uncovers funny dinosaur facts and sometimes weird dinosaur behavior, with stunning full color photos with descriptions of the extinct animals, what they ate, where they lived and their behavior.

Exploring dinosaur bones from around the earth, we will see dinosaur pictures of the T Rex, Raptor and more. Like the dinosaur that was so tall, it could look into a window on the sixth floor!

Book Description
Meet the incredible animals that have disappeared due to competition, mass extinctions, hunting, and human activity. Lost Animals brings back to life some of the most charismatic creatures to inhabit the planet. It captures the imagination with more than 200 incredible photographs, artworks of fossils, and scientific drawings of charming creatures like dodos, paraceratherium (the largest land mammal), spinosaurus (the biggest carnivorous dinosaur), placeoderm fishes (the sharks of their day), and more! Lost Animals is a captivating documentation of evolution and extinction. Each chapter focuses on a specific time in Earth's history, from the Cambrian explosion (the most intense surge of evolution the world has ever experienced) to present times, with profiles of the key species that lived then. From long extinct animals to Lazarus species--animals that were thought to be extinct before being rediscovered--this book takes readers on a journey through Earth's natural history, highlighting the world's biggest animal losses and its moments of conservational hope.

Book Description
Extinct Monsters is a book by H. N. Hutchinson. Hutchinson was an author of numerous popular books on geology, palaeontology, evolution and anthropology. Excerpt: "Many of the stories told in early days, of Giants and Dragons, may have originated in the discovery of the limb-bones of the Mammoth, the Rhinoceros, or other large animals, in caves, associated with heaps of broken fragments, in which latter the ignorant peasant saw in fancy the remains of the victims devoured at the monster's repasts."
