Synopsis
Barnum Brown's (1873-1963) parents named him after the circus icon P.T. Barnum, hoping that he would do something extraordinary--and he did! As a paleontologist for the American Museum of Natural History, he discovered the first documented skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as most of the other dinosaurs on display there today.
An appealing and fun picture book biography, with zany and stunning illustrations by Boris Kulikov, BARNUM'S BONES captures the spirit of this remarkable man.
Barnum's Bones is one The Washington Post's Best Kids Books of 2012.

Review
"...playful and imaginative..." --BCCB
"T. rex lovers will gobble it up, and seekers of easy biographies will be hot on their heels." --School Library Journal, starred
"Tracey Fern ("Buffalo Music," "Pippo the Fool") turns a slice of a scientist's biography into an American adventure tale, describing how Brown and his rivals at other museums raced to find the best fossils and to discover new species." --New York Times
"...truly breathtaking. This will captivate the masses of kids whose jaws drop in the presence of hulking fossils." --Booklist, starred
"In this engaging picture-book biography, Tracey Fern and illustrator Boris Kulikov supply many distinctive details about Brown, including the spiffy wardrobe he favored and the dancing talents he would occasionally unleash." --The Washington Post
"...[an] informative, inspirational story of one man's curious, undeniable passion." --Horn Book
"Fern fills her text with all the salient facts but uses a breezy, humorous, awestruck voice that strikes just the right tone in telling the story of this fascinating, quirky scientist." --Kirkus, starred
