Paper Plate Dinosaurs
In the good old days of my author visits to schools
(the 1990s), everyone had read at least one of my books before my visit, and
every classroom had done some kind of project inspired by a book. By the day of
my visit the excitement was palpable and the hallways, auditorium, and library
were filled with student projects—ranging from poems, songs and stories, to
paintings, drawings and scale models. I always brought my camera. Recently,
while cleaning out I found some of those photos.
Dinosaurs All Around (Clarion, paperback 1997; hardback 1993.) Out of
Print. Available digitally at Amazon.
Stephen Czerkas's dinosaur
models, ranging from the largest carnivores to hatching babies, are widely
exhibited in museums. This book is based on a traveling exhibit, "Dinosaurs:
A Global View," organized by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
County and a visit to the artist's studio.
