ReviewsPRAISE FOR BEN GARROD : 'This was a super book for us to read together... Any budding paleontologists would be poring all over this and relishing the amazing array of facts and illustrations... Well written with clear explanations of some tricky concepts - this is a book we can keep on the bookshelf for years' Toppsta reader review, parent, on Dunkleosteus . 'It is really good to read... The pictures were really helpful for imagining what life looked like when trilobites lived. I want to read the other books in the series now, especially the megalodon one' Toppsta reader review, age 11, on Trilobite . 'This book is brilliant. It was interesting and so many facts I didn't know before... The illustrations are great. Will be looking at other books in this series' Toppsta reader review, age 8, on Dunkleosteus . 'The size and colour of this book made me want to open it straight away... This is a must-have series of books for any school library!'

SynopsisTV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our planet., TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level science fun. Usually a species has 10 million years or so of evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe doing homework, or even going to the moon before it goes extinct. Lisowicia was super-sized. Weighing in at 9 tonnes, it was one of the largest animals roaming the planet during the Late Triassic. It was a kind of cross between a reptile and a mammal, but not quite either! What did Lisowicia eat, how and where did it live and what caused the complete disappearance of this animal which lay undiscovered for over 200 million years? 'Eye-opening science with striking artwork' Sunday Times 'Best Children's Books for Summer 2021' Collect all eight books about animals we have lost in mass extinctions caused by asteroids or mega-volcanoes, clashing continents and climate change. Past brought to full-colour life by palaeoartist Gabriel Ugueto
