It is hard to imagine a time in which people…especially children…did not know what a dinosaur looked like. Our modern appreciation of these historic animals is primarily due to the work of one man, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, an artist and sculptor and teacher, who first created pictures and sculptures of dinosaurs in Victorian London. Brian Selznick (Caldecott Award-winner for The Invention of Hugo Cabret in 2008), here presents Hawkin’s life in three acts with wonderful full-color illustrations. The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins received a Caldecott Honor in 2002. This first edition is in Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket.
