Learn about species that grew to monstrous sizes compared to others of their kind, such as the giant kangaroos of Australia, otters the size of wolves, and Argentavis, a giant bird with a wingspan almost as long as a bus. Encounter the giants of the jungle, desert, swamp, sea, ice, and sky through vibrantly illustrated scenes of them in their natural habitats, and compare the size of these enormous creatures to humans. A gatefold spread unfolds to reveal a lineup of all the giants featured in the book, to scale, while a visual timeline shows when they roamed the Earth.

Gr 1-3-This book covers dozens of creatures, ranging from millions of years ago to the present time. Mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, and undersea creatures from every continent are included. Each page has a small graphic showing a silhouette of the animal alongside two humans—one adult and one child—which provides a great visual clue about the size of the animal and helps clarify the text and offer more context. On a large foldout page showing a timeline of life on Earth is every animal drawn to scale, and includes four humans to show relative size. The nomenclature "MYA" (millions of years ago) and "YA" (years ago) used not explicitly is string_containing throughoutfined, although some readers may infer it from the text. Includes a table of contents and an index. A single scientist is depicted with dark brown skin; all other humans are shown in silhouette. VERDICT A solid purchase with broad appeal.-Sue Morgan
