Fossils from Lost Worlds

"The illustrations use an elegant color palette but don't sacrifice adventure, humor or information for design...The careful curation of this parade of creatures takes readers on a comprehensive journey through the fossil record. I enjoyed the paleontologists, depicted in droll graphic-novel-style comics interspersed throughout, almost as much as I enjoyed the paleontology."

"This oversized, stylish book invites readers to pour over its intricate pen-and-ink/watercolor illustrations and its narrative passages interlaced with tongue-in-cheek talk bubbles...Book design steals the show here. The thick, cream-colored pages make a great backdrop for the terrific artwork...truly unique and beautiful."

Starred review

"The subdued palette and inky lines of Helene Rajcak's pictures give the book a stylish feel, while its lively, graphic-novel-style layout conveys a sense of humor about dinosaurs, fossils and the work of those who study them."

"The text is really easily understood and yet it's still quite comprehensive scientifically. Lots of facts, simply expressed."

"This multi-layered book is a must for anyone interested in palaeontology. And if that's not you, it will definitely change your mind. This is a treasure trove of information the whole family can savour and enjoy for many years, and highly recommended for ages 8+."

"Fossils from Lost Worlds is a large-size hardback book of fascinations. Pick up this glorious book and head back into the distant past and go digging."
