About this book

Barnum's Bones: How Barnum Brown Discovered the Most Famous Dinosaur in the World by Fern, Tracey. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780374305161.

Barnum Browns (1873-1963) parents named him after the circus icon P.T. Barnum, hoping that he would do something extraordinary--and he did! As a paleontologist 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 fun picture book biography, with zany and stunning illustrations by Boris Kulikov, BARNUMS BONES captures the spirit of this remarkable man. Barnums Bones is one The Washington Posts Best Kids Books of 2012.
