Description
Eric Rohmann's Caldecott Honor-winning debut is now available as a <i>Dragonfly </i>paperback. It is at once a wordless time-travel adventure and a meditation on the scientific theory that dinosaurs were the evolutionary ancestors of birds. <br><br>Time Flies , a wordless picture book, is inspired by the theory that birds are the modern relatives of dinosaurs. This story conveys the tale of a bird trapped in a dinosaur exhibit at a natural history museum. Through Eric's use of color, readers can actually see the bird enter into a mouth of a dinosaur, and then escape unscathed.<br><br><i>The New York Times Book Review</i> called <i>Time Flies</i> "a work of informed imagination and masterly storytelling unobtrusively underpinned by good science...an entirely absorbing narrative made all the more rich by its wordlessness." <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> hailed it as "a splendid debut."
