THE FIRST BOOK OF PREHISTORIC ANIMALS

By Alice Dickinson

Illustrated by Helene Carter

 

Was this really the first book ever written about prehistoric animals? I love the illustration below pairing an Allosaurus with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. As a kid I thought, "How can they do that?" The two animals lived millions of years apart. Note the Fantasia influence with the driving rain.
