Extinct - The Story of Life on Earth Series

by ,
(75 reviews)

If you're feeding the curiosity of a reader who loves learning about the strangest, wildest, most incredible animals to ever swim, stalk, slither or walk our planet, may we present to you Extinct, a fantastic non-fiction series for readers aged 7+ with spot colour illustrations throughout.

TV scientist Ben Garrod, author of the Ultimate Dinosaurs books, presents the biggest extinction events ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars. We've got the Hallucigenia, a super-weird, spiky, armoured worm that lived 450 million years ago, the Dunkleosteus who had a bite 10 times stronger than a great white shark, and even the Trilobite, a super-invader with its stomach in its head. Each book comes with a pronunciation guide and expert contributions from leading scientists.

If you're on the hunt for more books filled with fantastic facts, do also take a look at our blog post round-up of The Best Non-Fiction Books for Kids. We're sure there's a book for all interests.
