Prehistoric Mammals
Carl Mehling
Library Binding (Windmill Books, Feb. 1, 2010)There were plenty of mammals living in the time of the dinosaurs, although many of them also appeared after the dinosaurs became extinct. Some even resemble mammals we know today, like the Platybelodon. This eye-catching creature looked a lot like an elephant, except for its two huge bottom teeth, which archeologists believe were used as a shovel and tool to strip bark

This book looks at some of these masters of the water and skies, which are lesser known in our dinosaur realm.

Giant Plant-Eating Dinosaurs
Carl Mehling

Many of these dinosaurs had the typical menacing features, like large sharp teeth, saw-like apparatuses, and piercing spikes, but readers will be amused to learn that only plants received their wrath.
