Synopsis
Meet Megatooth -- the giant prehistoric shark that was even bigger than T-rex!
Ten million years ago, giant beasts walked the earth. But the biggest one of all did not walk -- it swam. It was large enough to eat whales. It was more enormous than the biggest dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus rex. It was Megalodon -- or Megatooth -- the giant shark, and it ruled the seas. Great White sharks may be huge, but their ancient ancestors were even bigger and more powerful. Scientists aren't sure how big Megalodons really were, since the only things they left behind were enormous teeth. But teeth can tell us a lot. Filled with fascinating facts and gorgeous, highly detailed illustrations, this book will thrill dinosaur and shark fans alike.

About the Author
Patrick O'Brien has been fascinated with prehistoric animals since he was a child. This interest led him to write and illustrate both Megatooth! and Gigantic! How Big Were the Dinosaurs? He lives with his wife in Baltimore, Maryland.
Reviews
PreS-Gr 3-Megatooth, or Megalodon, was an ancient shark three times as large as today's great white shark. O'Brien supplies children with several interesting facts that scientists have surmised about this fascinating creature from the huge teeth that have been found along seashores (as an afterword explains in more detail). The brief text is accompanied by oversized watercolor-and-gouache illustrations. This first look at a prehistoric animal is sure to be a hit with young dinosaur fans, who will appreciate the arresting cover illustration depicting a wide-open toothy jaw crunching on crumbling title letters.
