Description

Take a colourful tour through the prehistoric animal kingdom with this hilarious collection of non-fiction comics from award-winning author Mike Barfield and illustrator Paula Bossio. From the earliest life forms living under the ocean waves, to the most fearsome dinosaurs, all the way through to early mammals like the woolly mammoth, this book tells the story of what life was really like on early Earth. Discover what these creatures looked like, where they lived and how they survived (or didn’t) in the most extreme conditions. Split into three chapters covering the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras, the book covers animals and habitats from all over the world, with each creature telling its own life story. Also featured are ‘Dead Cool’ pages showing some of the stranger animals of each period, and ‘Living Legends’ pages looking at the true survivors who made it through prehistoric times and are still around today. Written by Mike Barfield and brought to life with quirky comic art from Paula Bossio, this is a funny, accessible guide to the astonishing animals who once thrived in a world that looked very different to the world of today. Also available in the series: The Wild Life of Animals 9781780558196
