I like the colorful and elaborate pictures. I dont like however that there are no words explaining the story.  RAdarling | Oct 20, 2009 |  A bird travels through time looking at the evolution of dinosaurs. He begins flying around the skeletons, plays with shadows, watches them come to life, gets eaten by a dinosaur, and then comes right out the other end as the dinosaur transforms back into a skeleton. At the end, the bird flies away into the red and brown night. LDGardner | Jun 7, 2009 | This delightful book tells the wordless story of a bird who flies into a Natural History Museum (specifically the dinosaur exhibit). As each page is turned the dinosaurs come to life and the bird is eventually eaten by a T-Rex. However the little bird does survive by flying through the T-Rex for it is not a solid as it appears. (  ) RisuNyfiken | Apr 19, 2009 | A beautifully done wordless book full of wonderful pictures. Allows us to follow a bird through a journey to visit the dinosaurs. The pictures so movement and the story flows well, even without words. This book would be a perfect for any age, but I think it would be especially well suited for a young reader who knows about all the kinds of dinosaurs and enjoys reading about them. I am teaching an art class after school starting in May and one unit will focus on dinosaurs, so I am planning on using this book to inspire some great dino art! mirandamae18 | Mar 30, 2009 | A flash of lightning transforms the dinosaurs in a museum into living creatures, as experienced from the perspective of a small bird.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0517885557, Paperback)Eric Rohmann's Caldecott Honor-winning debut is now available as a Dragonfly 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.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. The New York Times Book Review called Time Flies "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." Kirkus Reviews hailed it as "a splendid debut." (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:01 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
