This extraordinary true story introduces readers to the unforgettable Waterhouse Hawkins: Victorian artist and visionary who built the world's first life-size models of dinosaurs!


With impeccable attention to detail, Barbara Kerley unearths a story of consuming passion, triumph, loss, and courage — and ultimately, of an extraordinary legacy that lives on today. Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick celebrates this complex and fascinating individual through luminous, soul-stirring paintings that form a visual masterpiece. Not until the mid 1800s were dinosaurs heard of in Victorian England. But when artist Waterhouse Hawkins built the first life-size models of dinosaurs in his native England, and later in America, he dazzled the world with his awe-inspiring creations. The author and illustrator present a story of consuming passion, triumph, loss, and a remarkable legacy that lives on today. Full-color illustrations.


The awe-inspiring Caldecott Honor winner now in an elegant paperback edition!

"…the adaptation zoom(s) in and out to emphasize the details of the nineteenth-century Waterhouse Hawkins, who is rembered for building 'the first life-size dinosaur models'...Background Victorian-era music adds atmosphers, evoking the awe elicited by Hawkins' models." - Booklist
"Highly recommended. Editor's Choice." -****, Video Librarian
