Great book for the imagination!
I loved this book as a child. But, like many children, I enjoyed scribbling on it and cutting out some of the dinosaurs in it. One of these days I was digging through some stuff from when I was little and I found my book. So many good memories. The pictures are so beautiful and they're and incentive to imagination. Since my book was already too worn out I decided to buy a new edition and keep it safe on my shelves.

A book that can change every time you READ it!
This was a favorite of my son when he was small. He and I both loved it! Now I buy it for baby showers and the nieces and nephews! We promote the love of dinosaurs!

beautiful pictures
Stunning pictures, a creative way of comparing birds to dinosaurs, and delightful ending. No words--story conveyed in pictures only.

Detailed Illustrations
The detailed illustrations in this wordless picture book carry the story very well... words would have cluttered the adventure of this story. As a preschool teacher, integrating wordless picture books offers variety to my repetoire and sparks my students' imaginations. Children seem to identify well with the tone of the book, slow transitions that offer exciting results. Emerging literacy is supported by allowing the reader to add his/her own interpretation of the artwork. Rohmann's work is an ideal companion for a natural history or science museum field trip, or family trip.

a unique and rather timeless dinosaur book
this book is great for younger kids as it has no words or dated facts - just an imagination inspiring mini-story told in pictures and planting the seeds of the idea of dinosaurs and birds being related....adults will dig the concepts and beautiful artwork.
