    Book SynopsisDiscover how dinosaurs first appeared on Earth and how they developed through timeTrade ReviewIt can be hard for children to understand vast periods of time, but Time Trials is an original new series that takes a look back across time in a highly visual way, to give a better understanding. This book takes the reader from over 200 million years ago, when tiny Saltopus hopped around in search of food, and pterosaurs took to the skies, through to huge dinosaurs such as Brachiosaurus and Allosaurus of the late Jurassic Period. They will travel right up to the mass extinction event of the Cretaceous Period, which wiped out three quarters of all life on the planet... A timeline of discovery concludes the book. * Parents In Touch *Table of Contents 1: Palaeozoic 1: Mid Triassic 1: Late Triassic 1: Early Jurassic 1: Mid Jurassic 1: Late Jurassic 1: Early Cretaceous 1: Late Cretaceous 1: The Timeline Under Our Feet 1: Palaeontology Timeline 1: Glossary and Further Information 1: Index

    Book SynopsisThe bestselling series meets a bestselling subject. The Photicular books, created through their patented technology, are not only magic to look at but magic to sell. With over two million copies in print and a robust backlist presence, the series ships over 300,000 copies a year. Next up comes a title that's an instant wow: Dinosaur, a celebration of everyone's favourite prehistoric beasts. We see their bones in museums. We pore over their imagined likenesses in books. We love movies that bring them to the big screen. Now, see dinosaurs come to life as if you were traveling on an expedition a hundred million years back in time. Using extremely lifelike animation, Dinosaur shows us a herd of giant sauroposeidons, with their impossibly long necks, lumbering across the sun-drenched plains eons and eons ago. Two angry triceratops preparing to lock horns. A threatened velociraptor standing tall, waving its wildly feathered arms. And, almost tenderly, a pair of duck-billed parasauropholuses feeling spring in the air and nuzzling. Flipping through these pages is as close as we'll ever get to watching actual footage from earth's distant past. The informative and lively text by science writer Kathy Wollard then brings us even closer through its insights and setting-the-scene storytelling. With T. rex roaring on the cover, Dinosaur is utterly irresistible.Trade Review"A visual delight for the prehistoric-obsessed!" --Parents

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"Ten creatures that make the dinosaurs look like newcomers. Properly noting that evolution works continuously on all life, Ridley profiles multicelled animals that have nonetheless really withstood the test of time without major alteration. These include the lizardlike tuatara (200 million years), the hardy lungfish (300 million years), sponges (600 million years), and possibly even more ancient comb jellies: "among the earliest animals to have…a butt." Winning close-ups of a roly-poly tardigrade (530 million years) and luridly snaggle-toothed goblin sharks (125 million years) lead off a spectacular suite of photos to which the author adds pithy descriptive comments and reflections on evolutionary processes, plus insights into just how these survivalists might have endured when 99 percent of all other life forms have gone extinct. Humans (200,000 years), represented here by a picture of a racially diverse group of children, are a long way from demonstrating similar longevity. Perspective-building intros to some of our most ancient relatives. (timeline, summary facts, glossary, further reading) (Nonfiction. 10-13) " -- Kirkus"Award-winning author Kimberly Ridley presents Extreme Survivors: Animals that Time Forgot, a hardcover nonfiction title introducing young readers to strange and wondrous animal species that have avoided extinction for millions of years. Since they closely resemble their ancestors, they offer modern scientists clues to what life was like in the distant past. Striking, full-color photography offers an up-close and personal glimpse of animals such as the lungfish, the microscopic tardigrade, the chambered nautilus, the ferocious goblin shark, the New Zealand tuatara (closest living cousin of the dinosaurs), and much more. Highly recommended, especially for school and public library children's nonfiction collections. " -- Diane Donovan, Editor - Children's Book Watch
