摘要
On a visit to the workshop of Stephen and Sylvia Czerkas, where a life-size dinosaur model is being constructed, the reader learns what dinosaurs really looked like, how we know how big they were, how they moved, and what color skin they had.

Gr 4-6-- Arnold gives readers a look at artists Stephen and Sylvia Czerkas as they use their considerable expertise to conceive and construct lifelike, life-sized dinosaur models. The large, eye-catching full-color photographs and clear text show the artists' research into the creatures' skin and anatomy before they begin their models, and details the process of assembling them. The author includes information about the dinosaurs, but this is secondary to the construction of the museum replicas and seems to be almost an afterthought. This book is more objective, and certainly more attractive, than the Czerkas's own My Life with the Dinosaurs (Minstrel, 1989). Like William Lindsey's Barosaurus (Dorling Kindersley, 1993), it will probably foster career possibilities beyond paleontology for dinosaur fans. --Cathryn A.

As she did in 'Dinosaurs Down Under' (Clarion), Arnold has chosen to highlight the behind-the-scenes preparation of natural history exhibits. The meticulous work involved in creating the sculptures is pictured and described in clear color photographs and a direct, concise text. The never-ending supply of young readers requesting another dinosaur book will be well served by this attractive and informative volume. Ind. From HORN BOOK 1993, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
Sculptor Stephen Czerkas specializes in making life-sized models of dinosaurs. This book shows how he works, from the first small clay model to a full-size clay sculpture, a latex cast, a fiberglass and steel replica made in sections, and finally the assembly and mounting for a museum exhibit. Most of the color photos show ``Steve'' at work in his studio, at fossil digs, or in the museum preparing dinosaurs for two large traveling exhibits sponsored by the Museum of Natural History of Los Angeles County. While gleaning odd dinosaur facts and a better understanding of how scientists reconstruct the past, readers will also enjoy the behind-the-scenes look at a man who combines science, art, and engineering in an unusual career. Index. (Nonfiction. 8-12)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 3-6. Dinosaur fever, which often lasts beyond elementary school, has generated a host of nonfiction and fiction works about the fascinating beasts. This well-written book clearly shows that there are still some intriguing aspects of the subject to explore. With the help of photographer Hewett, Arnold takes a look at the craft of making dinosaur models, focusing on paleoartist Stephen Czerkas, whose miniatures and life-size replicas can be found in many museums. Pictures and text highlight aspects of the craft--from Czerkas' combining of known fact and educated guesswork to create a visual representation of a beast, to his modeling, casting, painting, and setting up a facsimile. The photographs, most of which are of models Czerkas created for two traveling museum exhibitions, are generally good (a few of the close-ups are a bit blurry). They not only capture some of the intricacies of the modeling process, but also show finished replicas of several different beasts Arnold describes individually in the latter portion of the book. ~--Stephanie Zvirin
