This is an interesting book. I dont think I have ever seen a book without a single word telling the story. I like the colorful and elaborate pictures. I dont like however that there are no words explaining the story.

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.

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.

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!

A flash of lightning transforms the dinosaurs in a museum into living creatures, as experienced from the perspective of a small bird.

The book did not have any words written on the pages but still told a story. The book showed dinosaurs' skeletons in the museum. Then it showed them when they were alive before they were extinct. At the end it showed them back at the museum.

I liked the way it showed how time really does fly by. I like the illistrations in the book and how it went from present, to past, and then back to the present time. I could use this book in a younger aged classroom to let them tell their own story.

In a classroom I would probably let students make up their own words to the story on each page. I could also just have them write a story in general about what they would make the book say. This would probably not be a good book for a large group of kids and would be better for an individual.

This book is all pictures, there is no words, but this book is one of those that you can look at the pictures and tell your own story. the pictures show a bird flying through time with dinosaurs, shows them alive and in the mueseum.

My personal reaction to this book was, at first was confusing but when you look at the pictures for a little bit you realize you do not need words to make a good story.

In the classroom I can use this book to when teaching about dinosaurs and the way they used to live. ( )

Time Flies is a Caldecott Honor Book which is a wordless tale of a bird flying around inn a dinasaur exhibit of a museum. The bird find itself in experiences that would have been scary if it were actually living in the time of real dinasaurs.

I do not really care for books without words, but can see how the author lets the reader create their own emotion as you seem to put yourself in the birds place while going through the book.

This would be a great book to let children use their imagination and tell their feelings of what they think about the bird is feeling. You could use this book when studying dinosaurs or prehistoric times. It would also be a good motivator for having children write about something that may have been scary in their life.

Time Flies is a wordless picturebook. In the story, a little bird is flying through the dinosaur bones in a museum when the dinosaurs suddenly come to life, covered in skin and looking for lunch! In the end, the dinosaurs are changing back to bones and the little bird flies off to safety.

This book was difficult for me. I had to really examine the pages to be able to tell the story...but maybe that is the point of a wordless picture book. My own disinterest in dinosaurs probably contributed as well, but I need to try to balance that with the fact that my students and my daughters are very interested in dinosaur books. Reader's response drives me to continue exploring the topic in order to reach children.

In the classroom, I might show children photos of the dinosaur exhibits at a museum or actually take a trip to the museum. In addition, supplimenting this book with a variety of informational books about dinosaurs would be interesting. It could even be used as a transition into the human body and our own skeletal system.

A wordless meditation on the connection between birds and dinosaurs across time. A bird in a museum filled with dinosaur skeletons flies amongst the bones and suddenly the skeletons take on flesh and the museum fades away. The bird is back in time, flying with pteradactyls and being eaten by a brachiosaurus (or something). But moving down the digestive tract, the dinosaur's flesh fades and the bird is back in the museum. ( )
