Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

In the mid-1800s, almost nobody knew what a dinosaur was until Victorian artist Waterhouse Hawkins built the first life-size models of the creatures in his native England and later American. This is the true story of how he dazzled the world with his awe-inspiring creations. Full color.

Of course....the illustrations are beautiful. It's the perfect book for dinosaur lovers of any age. The book should spark conversations about progress and science discoveries...and it's neat how it focuses on the determination of an artist/scientist. The sale price makes the book a steal! I want more to save for gifts!
