"Barton takes readers on a quest for dinosaur bones. After the bones are wrapped, loaded, and trucked to a museum, the scientists study, clean, and reassemble them into a towering tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. Barton scores high marks in all categories—accuracy, simplicity, appropriateness, appeal for the intended audience, and timeliness." —H. 1991 Fanfare Honor List (The Horn Book)Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children 1990 (NSTA/CBC)Author Byron Barton is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs; The Three The Little Red Hen; Machines at Work; I Want to Be an Astronaut; and a series of board Big Machines, Dinosaurs, Tools, and Zoo Animals.
