Praise for the Book
"Bayly’s illustrations are superb. Highly detailed, and standouts as individual works of art. But this is also an informative book with fascinating facts about these amazing extinct animals, the strange and wonderful from the land, sky and sea. A book that should be in every library" - Jane Stephens: Good Reading.
