This picture book biography's deadpan text and masterfully varied comic-book design outline Keaton's life from birth through his early days in Hollywood. On some pages, narrow horizontal frames show a perspective differing from the main illustration; on others side-by-side vertical frames propel the action. An author's note invites further exploration of the man and his movies. Bib.

Set at the beginning of the 1800s, this brief fictionalized biography describes how young Anning, with her brother's help, found a fossilized sea reptile in England. The comic-book format helps convey the excitement of the discovery; unfortunately, the title is misleading--the find wasn't actually a dinosaur. A short note mentions Anning's lifelong achievements as an early paleontologist but, regrettably, gives no sources.
