4 stars
I read this around the same time I read [b:Swift as a Shadow|1316899|Swift as a Shadow|Rosamond Wolff Purcell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182709138s/1316899.jpg|1306208]. Both books are about extinct animals including photos or drawings of the animals and short descriptions of the animals and why they went extinct.
The descriptions of the animals were a little more extensive, but I still wanted more information on each animal. I think I am going to have to find an individual book on each animal to be satisfied with the amount of information I want.
I liked the paintings in this book, but I preferred the photographs in Swift as a Shadow because it gave me a better idea of what the animals looked like.
I think both books go together very well.
