In the Past: From Trilobites to Dinosaurs to Mammoths in More than 500 Million Years
David Elliott
Poems introduce prehistoric creatures across more than 500 million years of life on Earth, from Dunkleosteus through the woolly mammoth. The book combines these concise verses with watercolor illustrations of ancient life. It also includes a timeline and notes, placing individual creatures within a much longer span of Earth’s past. Poetry and science meet in an exploration of prehistoric animals and their changing world.
