Prehistoric Life: Insects, Bugs and Other Invertebrates

Discover the fascinating world of prehistoric invertebrates that lived on our planet millions of years ago

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Be astounded by the incredible invertebrate life that lived on Earth millions of years ago!

Hundreds of millions of years before humans had evolved, our planet was already teeming with life. In prehistoric oceans, stony deserts, warm swamps, and vast grasslands, there lived an incredible variety of plants and animals.

Invertebrates made up a huge number of Earth's life forms. Among them, giant sea scorpions as big as a lion terrorised the oceans, enormous millipedes fed on plants in dense Carboniferous forests, and tiny wasps preyed on cockroach larvae in lush tropical regions.

Children will pour over the incredibly detailed illustrations and timeline, and be absorbed by the wealth of information.

This stunningly illustrated series looks at life in the prehistoric era, focusing not just on dinosaurs, but looking at the world as a whole. The prehistoric era is absolutely fascinating for children and adults alike, and is useful for schools studying history chronologically. Amazingly detailed and accurate illustrations bring the prehistoric era to life. Engaging reading for children aged 7+.
