Synopses & Reviews
A top picture-book artist offers a bright flight of fancy for dinosaur lovers, prospective time travelers, and kids everywhere who let curiosity get the best of them.It all started when Tom saw Moms new egg timer. It was round and magnetic and looked like a spaceship, and it fit perfectly in the palm of Toms hand. Despite Moms warnings, Tom just had to press the flashing blue button, and suddenly - Whizz! BANG! - he was gone, transported across a zillion days and a zillion nights, back into dinosaur time! Fascinating and suspenseful, Michael Foremans picture-book fantasy
is a passport to prehistoric fun.
