Description
This book introduces the physical characteristics, habitat, and behavior of a prehistoric relative of the modern-day African lions.
Quick Summary
Meet the real-life monster that roamed prehistoric plains - a giant cat with teeth like steak knives. Young readers will be obsessed over massive fangs, fierce hunting scenes, and comparing this ancient predator to the lions they see at the zoo today. If your kid loves the dinosaur madness in "The Day the Dinosaurs Came" or enjoys any National Geographic Little Kids magazine, they'll be totally hooked on this prehistoric predator. Perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who are curious about animals and want to read something a bit more challenging than picture books.
