Filling in the spaces around Love's fetching portraits of wild and domestic modern creatures, paleontologist Lomax natters on about the main types and characteristics of cats, dogs, fish, rodents, and other familiar animal families. This information appears on the outer leaves of each double-page spread, but the stars of the show are the pop-up figures that rear dramatically with each lift of a gatefold. . . . Whether today's pets would kill and/or eat us given the chance may be a matter for debate...but as for their predecessors, readers will come away with no such doubts. (Informational pop-up picture book. 6-10)
