Book Synopsis



What does it take to be "top dog?" In this illustrated exploration of the animal kingdom, Caldecott Honor winner Steve Jenkins introduces readers to some of the most powerful predators in history, from the Tyrannosaurus rex to the African Siberian tiger.

Using his signature cut paper art style, Jenkins illustrates how these animals dominate their different ecosystems using speed, strength, and even cooperation and cunning.

Take a trip through history and discover apex predators both past and present, from the earliest sea creatures to the modern African lion and giant freshwater ray, which can grow to over fifteen feet.


But who would win in a fight?


  • Animal Matchups: Discover who would win in a fight between a Great White Shark and the armored Dunkleosteus, or a tiger and the deadly Utahraptor.
  • Dinosaur Book for Kids: Get up close with the terrifying Utahraptor, the swimming Spinosaurus, and the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex.
  • Fascinating Animal Facts: Learn about killer pigs the size of a rhino, snakes longer than a school bus, and birds as tall as a giraffe.
  • STEM for Kids: Packed with stats, timelines, and incredible illustrations, this is the perfect book to spark a love for the natural sciences.



Review Quotes




"It's a clear and simple addition to Jenkins' books of animal infographics, and browsers interested in the fiercest of the animal world will snap it quickly up." - Booklist

"The intricacy of Jenkins's distinctive artwork will capture readers' imaginations, as will the predator face-offs he stages between pairs of predators. Great white shark vs. Dunkleosteus, anyone?" - Publishers Weekly

"Jenkin's cut-paper collage illustrations are, as usual, ingenious and remarkable in their clarity, their several components neatly articulating the anatomy of their subjects." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Jenkins has done it again--all nonfiction collections will want this title." - School Library Journal
