Barnum's bones : how Barnum Brown discovered the most famous dinosaur in the world / Tracey Fern ; pictures by Boris Kulikov.

Fern, Tracey E. : (author). Kulikov, Boris, 1966- (Added Author).

Summary:

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 paleonotologist 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 picture book biography, with zany and stunning illustrations by Boris Kulikov, BARNUM'S BONES captures the spirit of this remarkable man.
