A 2016 Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students K-12 (National Science Teachers Association-Children’s Book Council

The Early Cretaceous brings readers closer to prehistoric life than ever before.

What it would be like to see a living, breathing dinosaur? The Early Cretaceous brings readers closer to prehistoric life than ever before. By combining the latest paleontological findings with highly detailed, intimate drawings of wildlife from the Early Cretaceous, readers will look into the eyes of one of the most most fascinating creatures to ever inhabit the earth. Written and illustrated in the style of a naturalist’s notebook, the viewer will be given a first-hand account of what it is like to stand alongside everything from the first birds to flying dinosaurs to one of the most largest creatures ever to walk the earth. Through detailed illustrations and descriptive narrative, readers will discover how some dinosaurs survived polar blizzards, At the same time as others were able to pump blood five stories high to reach their brains. At the same time as many books on prehistoric life lump dinosaurs into the general timeline of the Mesozoic Period, no book currently dissects plant and animal life all the way through one specific period. This allows the book to explore wildlife seldom featured in publications, many of them recent discoveries. The Early Cretaceous is backed by the research of one of paleontology’s most acclaimed theorists, giving the book the freshest scientific interpretation regarding animal behaviors, interactions, and recreations.

“The illustrations and artistic layout are exceptionally beautiful. This is a book children will cherish, keep, and take into account that, and adults will be delighted to add to their collection.” – Sylvia Czerkas, Creator and Director The Dinosaur Museum, Utah

“The illustrations are Incredible! The Nigersaurus ‘grazing’ is likely one of the nicest reconstructions of a rebbachisaurid I’ve ever seen.” – Matthew C. Lamanna, Ph.D., Assistant Curator, Section of Vertebrate Paleontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History

“Incredible artwork!” – Andrew Milner, Paleontologist and Curator at St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site

“The art is amazing” – Phil Hore, National Dinosaur Museum, Australia

“I *love* it! The style strikes a chord in my memory of a very cool sci-fi book that I had as a kid (and still have), Dougal Dixon’s After Man: A Zoology of the Future. Dixon’s book is a wonderful, lavishly illustrated introduction to evolutionary principles that helped set me on the path to becoming a professional paleontologist. I suspect your book is going to be in a similar fashion inspirational to many of today’s aspiring scientists.” – Matthew C. Lamanna, Ph.D., Assistant Curator, Section of Vertebrate Paleontology, Carnegie Museum of Natural History
