by Carol Carrick
illustrated by Donald Carrick
As Patrick and his brother are raking leaves, Patrick provides a fantastical explanation for what happened to the dinosaurs--essentially, they used to live in harmony with people but got frustrated when the humans didn't want to learn (preferring only recess and lunch) so they built a spaceship and flew away.
In response to Patrick's fantastical
tale, Hank, his older brother, then provides scientific explanations.
Full of brightly colored, imaginative illustrations and lots of good
dino-details.
"For sharing and laughing over together, or for
independent reading, this superlative partnership of text and
illustration will satisfy even the most passionate dinosaur buffs."
