From School Library Journal Grade 4 Up-- Great， hairy warthog-like reptiles (Cynognathus); prairie dog mammals with little horns on their noses (Epigaulus); and elephants with tusks protruding from their lower jaws (Deinotherium)--all of them seem like creations of Dr. Seuss， and yet they're all contained in this extraordinary bestiary of prehistoric animals. The book is arranged in alphabetical order， which makes it easy to look up a creature， but intermingles dinosaurs and mammals. Most entries include pronunciations and meanings of the names. A small diagram shows its size compared to man; a time line indicates the geological period in which it lived. A map shows where dinosaurs lived on the landforms of their era. Brief introductory material explains how fossils are made， the age and history of the Earth， and classification systems of life forms. A directory of museums is included. This book has multiple uses--as a reference book， for browsing material， and as a fascinating exploration of the past， to be read cover to cover. --Cathryn A.
