Barner exploits the popularity of dinosaurs and butterflies to introduce basic concepts about ecosystem relationships, extinction, and survival. The brightly colored, energetic paper-collage illustrations are the draw here, portraying friendly fauna frolicking in a verdant prehistoric paradise. The big scientific ideas may be lost on the intended audience, but the images are great to look at.
