(3) K-3 Illustrated by Andrew Plant. Fifteen million years ago, a seven-foot carnivorous bird (Kelenken guillermoi) at the top of its food web dominated South America. The grisly particulars of the terror bird's feeding habits, its anatomy and behavior, and the basics of population dynamics are conveyed through simple sentences and evocative color illustrations that spare none of the bloody details. Reading list, websites.
