After the age of the dinosaurs, strange and powerful mammals ruled the earth. . . . Paleontologist Charlotte Lewis Brown's easy-to-read and fascinating descriptions of these ancient animals are brought to life in Phil Wilson's detailed illustrations.

Read about the largest mammal ever to walk on land, about a tiger with teeth longer than your hand, and about a horse the size of a dog! Mammals—some strange and some strangely familiar—ruled the earth after the dinosaurs. These compelling creatures are introduced to beginning readers by the team who created The Day the Dinosaurs Died.

After the Dinosaurs is a Level Two I Can Read, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.

      Every child knows about dinosaurs, but fewer know about prehistoric mammals like the hyracotherium or the macrauchenia. A brief factual introduction sets the scene, then short passages describe eleven creatures that evolved after the dinosaurs demise (including homo sapiens). Each double-page spread includes a pronunciation guide and presents interesting facts about the mammal. Full-color illustrations show these amazing creatures in action.

      K-Gr 3-This title examines a variety of ancient mammals. It opens with a brief introduction, followed by a spread devoted to each animal. The creatures are compared to things that readers will recognize (e.g., "size of a small dog"). The pronunciation guide is a welcome feature. The finely detailed watercolor illustrations emphasize the unusual features of each species. This title is more substantive than Helen Frost's "Woolly Mammoth" (Capstone, 2005) as it focuses on more than one ancient animal in more complex sentences. Add this book if your students are addicted to prehistory."Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PA"
