Highlighting the role of artists in the scientific process, this
crowd-pleasing look at dinosaurs explores how new discoveries
deepen our understanding of the world. Ever since mysterious bones
were found in 1822, scientists and artists have tried to figure out
what the creature they came from looked like. But it seems that
every time they've made up their minds, someone makes a new
discovery, and they have to start all over. That's only fair,
though--after all, it's how knowledge advances! With an inviting
tone and detail-filled art, Sean Rubin traces the process of
defining--and redefining--the dinosaur called Iguanodon.
Entertaining, accessible, and beautiful, his tale will delight
dinosaur fans, budding artists, and anyone curious about how
science really works.

Going extinct isn't for everyone. Sybil knows that there is
something off about her next door neighbor, but she can't seem to
get anyone to believe her. Everyone is so busy going about their
days in the busy streets of New York City that they don't notice
Bolivar. They don't notice his odd height, his tiny arms, or his
long tail. No one but Sybil sees that Bolivar is a dinosaur. When
an unlikely parking ticket pulls Bolivar into an adventure from
City Hall to New York's Natural History Museum, he must finally
make a choice: Bolivar can continue to live unnoticed, or he can
let the city see who he really is. School Library Journal says...
"Bolivar the dinosaur speaks to the introvert in all of us. That
part deep down inside that encourages us to hide away from the
world, keep to ourselves, and avoid any and all connections for
fear of getting hurt. Dinosaurs may not be around anymore but
Bolivars abound. Even little Bolivars who will pick up this book
and instantly connect with someone just like them. So for the
Bolivars and the Manhattan-lovers, the graphic novel enthusiasts
and the parents just looking for a good bedtime story, Bolivar the
book is the place to go. Dino-mite stuff."
