If dinosaurs came back to live with us today . . . which one would be smaller than a dalmatian? A child distinguishes between the intriguing ancient giants and familiar creatures of today, making this book for the very young the perfect introduction both to dinosaurs and to the concept of comparisons. Patricia Mullins's magnificently textured and colorful torn-tissue collage illustrations stretch across fold-out pages for stunning panoramic views. Plus, an informative glossary compiled by Australian paleontologist Dr. Alex Ritchie provides additional fun facts about each featured dinosaur. 1993 Fanfare Honor List (The Horn Book)
