About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has outgrown basic dinosaur facts and is looking for a fresh, slightly edgy challenge to their scientific knowledge. This guide introduces the mega-predators that dominated the earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs, focusing on creatures like the terror bird and the giant ripper lizard. It is an ideal choice for the child who enjoys comparing 'who would win' or who loves to correct adults with surprising animal trivia. While the book focuses on fierce ancient hunters, Stewart uses a humorous, cheeky tone and comical scale comparisons to keep the atmosphere light and engaging. It satisfies a natural curiosity about the more intense side of nature without being overly graphic, making it perfect for inquisitive elementary students who enjoy a blend of science and wit.

Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and scientific. While it discusses predators (and by extension, hunting and eating), the approach is clinical and humorous rather than gory. Death is treated as a natural biological function of the food chain.
