"For this marvelously evocative book, Patricia Lauber, the award-winning author of The News About Dinosaurs, had collaborated with Douglas Henderson, acclaimed for his pictures of prehistoric life. Together they take readers on a sight- and sound-filled tour of a vanished world that was shared by many animals, among them dinosaurs. It is a visit to remember.

"The time is 75 million years ago. The place is prehistoric Montana, which has a seashore. The author and the artist introduce us to the giant reptiles and fishes of the sea; to the birds and pterosaurs that darken the skies with their wings; to the dinosaurs, tiny mammals, crocodiles, and plants of the lowlands; and to the predators of dinosaur nesting grounds in the dry uplands, which are dusted by volcanic ash from the emerging Rockies."

A children's picture book by the finest contemporary paleo-artist.
