Prehistoric is full of bold illustrations that allow children to discover the fascinating creatures that used to roam the planet, including awe-inspiring dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, and giant insects.
Developed in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution, Prehistoric shines a light on our planet’s past-and points the way to its future.

The reader is encouraged to link ancient creatures and places to present-day Earth and issues, such as climate change and deforestation.
