In this dramatic introduction to the Stone Age world, the stupendous giants that shared the earth with our human ancestors--from the woolly mammoth and the fearsome saber-toothed cat to the elephant bird and the giant wombat--leap, slither, and swoop to life on eighteen atmospheric and densely packed double-page spreads spotlighting animals from around the globe. Each lively profile is anchored to a stunning illustration by Kate Greenaway Medal winner Grahame Baker-Smith and features jaw-dropping facts about the animal's anatomy and behavior, with an emphasis on how it interacted with early humans. Sidebars highlight scientific name, weight, territorial range, and extinction dates, while a glossary and end notes offer additional color and context to round out a boldly packaged and richly absorbing journey of discovery.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Lerwill \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning writer whose work has appeared internationally in publications including the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e, the\u003ci\u003e Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBBC Countryfile \u003c\/i\u003emagazine.
