K-3Jurassic Classics series.
Illustrated by
Sernur Isik.
These entertaining dinosaur-themed biographies serve as loose introductions to literary greats and American presidents. For each book's six figures (e.g., Emily Brontësaurus, George Washingdonyx), two spreads, plus a small attached booklet, provide kinda-sorta facts ("The 13 dinosaur colonies...joined forces under Washingdonyx to defeat the snarling might of Old Pangea"); a third spread gives real, if broad, biographical information. Humorous cartoons enliven the presentations. Review covers these Jurassic Classics titles: The Prehistoric Masters of Literature and The Presidential Masters of Prehistory.
