Beautiful Beasts: A Collection of Creatures Past and Present

(4) K-3 After a short introduction on extinction and a timeline, this volume is organized by characteristics such as "Speedy Swimmers" and "Bizarre Bodies." Spreads include animals currently living (labeled "modern") alongside prehistoric animals, each identified by its period/epoch; phonetic pronunciations of Latin names are provided. A few questions are included (answers appended), but otherwise there's little information here--the detailed paintings are the draw.
