If you hoped to see more of these particular creatures than close-ups of various body parts, simply turn to the “epilogue” at the back of the book, where you can see a smaller illustration of the entire animal, along with a more extensive description of them. For some animals, this means they easily fit within the borders of the page, while with others, we only get to see a part of them, even with the inclusion of several fold-out pages near the middle of the book. The book contains eighteen illustrations of prehistoric animals rendered at a 1:1 life-sized scale.
Prehistoric Actual Size was released in 2005 by author/illustrator Steve Jenkins, and as with Lifesize Dinosaurs, the title pretty much sums up the contents. Since size comparisons are the whole point of the book (and because it was too large to fit in my scanner), I enlisted the help of my son to model the book! (Also I finally discovered Steven Universe and got completely sucked in, but that’s another story!) In any case, I figured I’d get things back on track with a follow-up of sorts to my last post, Lifesize Dinosaurs, with a similarly themed predecessor. I feel like I should apologize for the sparse posts of late I’d been feeling pretty good about the pace at which I was writing book reviews, but then the last few weeks got surprisingly busy and completely ruined my work ethic.
