About the Author (from the dust jacket)
Barry Louis Polisar has been called Father Goose.” He has been described as “a clown and a first-class lunatic: naughty, irreverent and irrepressibly funny.”
In this book of imaginary dinosaurs he will introduce you to some of the most outrageous creatures you will ever meet. But don’t be fooled. He is as one reviewer wrote, “A clever subversive who sweeps us up in the fun of his atrocities…and very good at what he does: firing up kids Imaginations.”
As Teacher Magazine described him, “He’s off the wall, but right on target.” Watch out.
“We now know that dinosaurs had problems just like everyone else. They sat in rush-hour traffic and couldn’t get good service in restaurants. There were dinosaurs employed as plumbers (somebody had to fix the pipes back then), and dinosaurs who worked as doctors, lawyers and telephone operators. This book, hopefully, will provide an introduction-and insight-into the everyday lives of some of these dinosaurs-long gone, and otherwise forgotten.” –From the Introduction.
