        Gr 4-6-The largest animals of their times are highlighted in this series. Three books introduce dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures; the fourth focuses on giant animals from modern times. Most spreads cover a single animal, grouped into categories of herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore. The text mostly focuses on basic facts about size, diet, and physical features. In some cases, readers learn about how the creature's size factored into its behavior and survival. The impact of fossil evidence on scientific knowledge is also noted where relevant. One or two photos or drawings depict the creatures. These are useful but usually lack visual scales to contextualize their size. A diagram at the end of each book does show relative sizes of all of the featured animals. VERDICT Fairly engaging treatments of interesting animal life.
