Stuff for kids
Did you know that the first camels were not much bigger than rabbits?
That sloths larger than elephants used to roam through the Americas?
That giant dragonflies lived – and flew – on Earth long before the time of dinosaurs and birds?
Learn about all these amazing animals, and more, in my book Super Crocs & Monster Wings (Annick Press, 2008). It’s available now through your local bookstore, or online.
