Great illustrations and very informative, but again this is much too much information for a picture book.

Barnum Brown was fascinated with fossils from the time he was a toddler following behind his father’s plow. His collection got so large, it outgrew his bedroom and he was forced to move out to the laundry house with his finds. In college, Barnum got to go on digs in the summers of 1894 and 1895 in South Dakota and Wyoming. Barnum got a reputation for being a great bone hunter, collecting more than 1400 pounds of bones! The American Museum of Natural History in New York City didn’t have a dinosaur on display, so they hired Barnum to do fossil digs for the museum. Barnum continued to prove he could find bones, but he never found a new species, even though others were discovering them. All that changed when he found a huge bone, discovering the first T. Rex.

Loved the illustrations, but I was hoping for more dinosaur action. A friend's little boy checked this out and let me borrow it.
