Jennifer,
I know that I already told you about this one, but I wanted to re-post for the benefit of the group.

Barnum Brown Dinosaur Hunter

Here is a part of the review from Amazon:

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3–Working for the American Museum of Natural History, Brown became a leading paleontologist during the late 1800s, eventually discovering the first nearly complete Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen. Moving from his childhood through his career, the narrative conveys the excitement of dinosaur discoveries, along with some of the hard work involved. The focus is more on the man's work than on his personality, but readers learn about his preference for dressing stylishly, even in the field, and get a sense of his energy and commitment. Ink, gouache, and acrylic illustrations effectively support the text. Evocative images of dinosaurs in the background complement the sharply drawn foreground figures on several spreads. A couple of these dinosaurs cleverly mirror the posture of Brown at work, and one particularly effective scene shows the paleontologist examining T. Rex fossil teeth while an imagined version of the dinosaur peeks mischievously over his shoulder. An author's note fills in some of the details of the work of Brown and other early dinosaur hunters.

(Above meaning at the top of the forum as a sticky note)
