Wormell's trademark beautiful woodcut illustrations are paired here with very detailed descriptions of his subjects. His unique vision and incredible artistry elevate this book above the crowd of volumes devoted to the Earth's coolest creatures. A great choice for kids and even adults who can't get enough of these prehistoric reptiles.
