This book should never be read to a child. This is a fantastic snap-shot in a moment in time depicting our evolving understanding of ancient life, but is so distant from reality that it should not be allowed near impressionable minds. Anthropology/historical reference only.

Michael K. Frith's art is lovely and fun, and clearly strongly inspired by Charles Knight and other early paleo-artists. The writing however is awful. Besides the completely inaccurate biology, these folks had clearly no idea how plate-tectonics worked, to the point that the descriptions of explosions under the earth causing mountains to rise had to be inspired by Disney's Fantasia 1940. The story telling also wanders in tone and topic pretty wildly, though it ends with a PSA to save the whales, so that's something. ( )

Outdated and marvelous. Truly.

I like best its schizophrenia about extinctions. "All the Smiladons died out thousands of years ago. That's a good thing. A Smiladon was cruel even when he was a kitten." Also, we're sad the mammoths are gone, but it's basically okay because they were here when we needed them for hunting and we don't need them anymore now. And yet, despite those examples (and many more like them) it ends on this note:

"We can't let this happen to the whales. We must take care of the world's last giants... and all the other wonderful creatures who share the earth with us."
