Illustrated by
Brian Selznick.
This picture book introduces the English artist who, using the few fossils available, created the earliest models of dinosaurs. After his work was displayed at England's Crystal Palace Park, he came to the United States with plans to bring dinosaurs to Central Park. Kerley's pithy text is a good match for Selznick's attractive art, which is clear-eyed yet contains a dash of magic.
