Synopsis

Here is the original inspiration for the blockbuster Night At The Museum movies--starring Ben Stiller--from 20th Century Fox. In this charming, funny picture book that started it all, Larry becomes a night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History. He thinks it's going to be an easy job, but is he in for a surprise. After dozing off, he wakes up to find the most amazing vanishing act in the museum's history. The museum's entire collection of dinosaur skeletons has disappeared! In a panic, Larry rushes from one room to the next--then dashes outside into Central Park, and then next door into the planetarium. Where did the skeletons go? Who is the dinosaur thief? How in the world will Larry ever get those dinosaur bones back? Originally published by B.E.S. in 1993, this mystery-comedy picture book features the author's original captivating, hilarious, full-color illustrations on every page.

Synopsis:

When Larry becomes a night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History, he expects to have an easy job. But on his very first night, he dozes off, then wakes up to the most amazing vanishing act in the museum's long history. The museum's entire famous collection of huge dinosaur skeletons has disappeared! In a panic, Larry rushes from one room to the next - then dashes outside into Central Park, and next door into the planetarium. Where did the skeletons go? Here and there, he manages to pick up a stray bone or two, but the skeletons are truly gone. Who is the dinosaur thief? And how in the world can Larry get those dinosaur bones back again? Originally published by Barron's in 1993, this mystery-comedy for kids returns in print as a complement to the major motion picture that it has inspired. "Night in the Museum", scheduled for release by Fox Studios in January'06, promises to be one of the year's biggest film hits for family audiences. The book features the author's original funny, full-colour illustrations on every page.
