"Long ago there lived a big cat whose giant teeth would make today's cats look tame." This informative, clearly written book describes different types of saber-tooth cats (e.g., Smilodon, Machairodus, Dinofelis) and their evolution; the role archaeologists play in finding and identifying fossils is also touched on. Fierce, realistic-looking watercolors are well suited to the text.
