This is a pop-up book that explores the relationship between common pets and their prehistoric ancestors. From snakes to guinea pigs to dogs, this book includes many of your favorite pets. Each two page spread begins with information about a common pet, then the pop-up flap opens up another two page spread of information about the prehistoric animal. The digitally rendered illustrations are full of color and are more cartoonish than realistic in nature. The pages are thick like a board book, but this book is so packed with information, it’s recommended for readers 7 and up.
