“This book presents the fervor and spirit of a dedicated, little-known individual whose conceptions…astounded the minds and stirred the imaginations of scientists then involved in the actual birth of paleontology. A distinguished book in every way.””

— School Library Journal 

Quotes

  • “[Kerley] suffuses her text with a contagious sense of wonder and amazement.”

    — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
  • “The man is Waterhouse Hawkins, who, in Victorian England, devoted his life to making ordinary people aware of dinosaurs at a time when most had never heard of them and could not imagine what they looked like…Stunning.”

    — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
  • “Although many of Hawkins’ dinosaur models are now known to be inaccurate, the passion of his life and his single-minded pursuit of it rings loud and clear. Appealing on many levels, this will be a favorite dinosaur book for years to come.””

    — Booklist
