Description

One of my favorite books when I was younger was The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible - I read it over and over again! I only wish this book was available then; I'm sure it would have been a favorite, too! This gripping title looks at dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures of the oceans, from a biblical perspective. An introduction discusses "dragons" in the sea, and "monsters" in the Bible, before we look at some dragons and monsters close-up. Sixteen incredible (and huge!) ancient ocean dwellers are discussed, including the megalodon (a giant shark), the ichthyosaur, the mesonychoteuthis ("colossal squid"), the sarcosuchus (a giant crocodile), the styxasaurus (similar to a pleisiosaur), and many more that will whet many an imagination! Each sea-dweller is discussed in a good amount of detail, with regards to size, diet, habitat, similar attributes to creatures we are more familiar with today, comparative size to an adult scuba diver, and lots of other fascinating details. The text is accompanied by great photos of fossils from these creatures, illustrations of what they may have looked like, and photos of similar creatures. An exciting and well-done book that covers a lot of creatures not often included in dinosaur books, and from a biblical perspective too! - Jess
