That was true in the mid-nineteenth century, until Victorian artist Waterhouse Hawkins built the first life-size models of dinosaurs, first in his native England and later in New York City, and dazzled the world with his awe-inspiring creations. 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.     \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDistinctions and Praise for \u003ci\u003eThe Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e (partial listing)\u003cb\u003eCaldecott Honor BookALA Notable Children's Book NAPPA Gold Award WinnerOrbis Pictus Honor Book for Outstanding Nonfiction for ChildrenPublishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, 2001CBC\/NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People CBC\/NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children New York Public Library - 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing \u003c\/b\u003e* \"One look at this amazing-but-true picture book introducing the little-known artist Hawkins and his dreams of dinosaurs, and kids may well forget about Jurassic Park.\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e , starred review * \"Stunning.\" --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review* \"Appealing on many levels, this will be a favorite dinosaur book for years to come.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review     \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistinctions and Praise for \u003ci\u003eThe Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e (partial listing)\u003cb\u003eCaldecott Honor BookALA Notable Children's Book NAPPA Gold Award WinnerOrbis Pictus Honor Book for Outstanding Nonfiction for ChildrenPublishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, 2001CBC\/NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People CBC\/NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children New York Public Library - 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing \u003c\/b\u003e* \"One look at this amazing-but-true picture book introducing the little-known artist Hawkins and his dreams of dinosaurs, and kids may well forget about Jurassic Park.\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e , starred review * \"Stunning.\" --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review* \"Appealing on many levels, this will be a favorite dinosaur book for years to come.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780439114943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Scholastic Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40790231941326,"sku":"9780439114943","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_a054af22-e6f5-4959-b534-ff68b5147984.jpg?v=1644529429","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780439114943","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
