Beasts From Before The Dinosaurs

In Beasts from Before the Dinosaurs, you will meet over 20 strange, forgotten animals that ruled the land and seas dur­ing the Permian Period - an era that ended with the 'Great Dying', a massive extinction that wiped out nearly 90% of all life on Earth. Even they though they existed so long ago, these extraordinary creatures were as full of life as you are now - and they were fascinating! From the fierce, sail-backed Dimetrodon to the spiral-jawed Helicoprion, each of the book's creatures offers a window into a forgotten world. You'll meet Meganeura, a super-sized flying insect that was bigger than a hawk, Eryops, a carnivorous frog the size of a gorilla, and Lystrosaurus, a strange tusked creature that wouldn't look out of place in a Star Wars film!
The perfect gift for a dino-mad child who's already read ALL the dinosaur books, Beasts from Before the Dinosaurs uncovers a hidden chapter in our planet's history, sparking curiosity about Earth's incredi­ble past.
