This book contains a collection of four stories that are all set in the fantasy world of Teragae. Teragae is an ancient world filled with great natural beauty, vibrant cultures, and magical mystery. In Teragae a golden spider mounted on a circlet can animate and cast powerful enchantments, wizards can see underlying reality and bend it to their will, a wraith can try to suck the life force out a poor unfortunate mortal, and a great dragon queen can terrify an entire world and yet be laid low by love for a mortal dragon slayer. Dare to venture into Teragae, and you will find yourself unwilling to ever leave.

From their evolution to their extinction, see what dinosaur skin was like, find out how a fossil can show if a dinosaur was a carnivore or herbivore, study claws and tails and how they were used and more in this latest edition of an Eyewitness favorite.

Grade 4-6?This title updates Lambert's Seas and Oceans (Facts on File, 1985; o.p.). While the narrative is somewhat dry, the graphics, which include satellite photos, underwater shots, drawings, and reproductions, are vibrant and engaging. A depiction of what is now the Mediterranean filling with ocean water is connected by a flowing blue arrow to a dramatic image of what that massive waterfall might have looked like five million years ago. Double-page illustrations, some horizontal, some vertical, amplify the topics. The cross-sectional drawing of underwater geological formations includes ocean vessels floating on the surface, dwarfed by the natural landscape. Sometimes the collages of photographs and drawings are confusing. For example, an illustration of a coral reef includes Pacific and Atlantic species. Maps abound and show the four main oceans, the evolution of the continents, ocean currents, migration paths, voyages of exploration, major shipping lanes, and more. A listing of 40 prominent oceanographers since the 1700s and their important contributions is appended. This colorful glance at marine life is similar to Miranda MacQuitty's Oceans (Knopf, 1995), but broader in scope.?Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
