Can you fathom a time when almost no one in the world knew what a dinosaur looked like? That was true in the mid-nineteenth century, until Victorian artist Waterhouse Hawkins built the first life-size models of dinosaurs, first in his native England and later in New York City, and dazzled the world with his awe-inspiring creations.With impeccable attention to detail, Barbara Kerley unearths a story of consuming passion, triumph, loss, and courage--and ultimately, of an extraordinary legacy that lives on today. Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick celebrates this complex and fascinating individual through luminous, soul-stirring paintings that form a visual masterpiece.

Fantastic mattress cover!
Color: 4 Black, Size: Twin XL, Color: 4 Black, Size: Twin XL
My son's bed needed a new mattress cover. The old one was a synthetic material that held stains, had snags and runs and didn't last long.
So, I went hunting and found this one. I liked that it was quilted as well as waterproof, nice looking. I purchased one for my son's bed, black. Wow, these are really nice. They fit great and are so much more attractive, completely elevates the bed.
They make a bit of noise when being put on the bed but are completely silent when laying on the bed. No more crinkle sound!
I was so impressed I purchased one for my bed too! Never going back to the old covers. These will not disappoint.
