The first book in the Large Encyclopedias series presents animals that once walked the Earth but have vanished due to the actions of humankind.
In Atlas of Extinct Animals, award-winning poet Radek Malý tells the stories of forty-one extinct species and studies the causes of their sad demise. The large-format in Atlas of Extinct Animals is supplemented with beautifully expressive full-page illustrations by gifted artist Jiri Grbavcic and detailed pictures by renowned scientific illustrator Pavel Dvorsky.
The gorgeous, detailed depictions and descriptions of species and their eventual extinction serves as a reminder and a warning of how much life has already disappeared from the Earth. The atlas also shows that species continue to disappear. As we get closer and closer to present day, we are introduced to creatures that still existed in recent years, like the Zanzibar leopard (until 1996) and the Chinese river dolphin (until 2007). And in the end, we are left with a bitter question: Which creature will next be added to this atlas?
This book was selected by White Ravens 2020 for the annual catalog of book recommendations in the field of international children's and youth literature.

"I loved that this book included facts that the typical books I read hadn't informed me about so I was learning new things as I read. I loved getting to see how ridiculously large some of these creatures were and then in contrast how small some of them were. I loved that to show the size comparison there was either a silhouette of a full body or a silhouette of a hand. I appreciated that each page opened with a large image of what professionals believe these creatures look like before providing you with information. I also like that on top of the information we get a glimpse of the similar creatures we are going to learn about. I appreciate that this short evolutionary guide is given not only in text but also through the images. Final Verdict: Atlas of Prehistoric Animals is a great encyclopedia for children ages 9 and up who are fascinated by dinosaurs. This book will teach them about the oldest animals on earth which they may already know and introduce them to animals that they have yet to learn about. Adults will also enjoy learning new facts about each of these animals that they may never have heard about either." -Adrien Guerra, YA Books Central
"The large-format Atlas of Extinct Animals is supplemented with beautifully expressive full-page illustrations by gifted artist Jirí Grbavcic and detailed pictures by renowned scientific illustrator and multitalented Czech artist Pavel Dvorský. Dvorský reconstructs the prehistoric world in collaboration with archaeologists. The author hopes that the memory of species already gone whose stories are told here will be both our warning and our guide." -Vermont Country Book News
"Radek Maly's Atlas of Extinct Animals, an oversized survey containing exceptionally beautiful illustrations by Jiri Grbavcic and Pavel Dvorsky. Elementary-grade readers will relish the full-page science drawings that accompany facts about the Falkland Islands Wolf, the Huia bird, the Long-Tailed Hopping Mouse, and others. Exceptional book especially recommended for creating eye-catching library displays." Donovans Literary Services
"Gorgeous book, more for older kids, teens, and adults. The artwork is phenomenal, and the information seems solid and well presented." -Librarian, East Hartford Public Library
"I loved reading this compilation of the intriguing and beautiful animals that used to inhabit our planet. The illustrations were an added bonus, and contributed needed visual aid in picturing not only the animal itself but the environment that they would have inhabited. An interesting, beautiful, and useful addition to any and all animal lovers library." Tina Hewitt, blogger
"I cried when I read this beautifully illustrated account of 41 species and their heartbreaking demise. How could these gorgeous creatures, including the Zanzibar leopard and the Chinese river dolphin, no longer exist and what can the world do to prevent another species from being added to the list? Geared to readers aged 9 to 17, but an important reminder for adults too of the fragility of life." Netgalley-Reviewer
"A highly informative, no-nonsense reference text that provides insights into a variety of 41 extinct animals. A superb resource for middle grade and high school students researching climate, ecological, and human impacts on fauna." Netgalley-Educator
