Time Flies, a wordless picture book, is inspired by the theory that birds are the modern relatives of dinosaurs.
This story conveys the tale of a bird trapped in a dinosaur exhibit at a natural history museum.
Through Eric's use of color, readers can actually see the bird enter into a mouth of a dinosaur, and then escape unscathed.
Eric Rohmann's Caldecott Honor-winning debut is now available as a Dragonfly paperback.
It is at once a wordless time-travel adventure and a meditation on the scientific theory that dinosaurs were the evolutionary ancestors of birds.
The New York Times Book Review called Time Flies ``a work of informed imagination and masterly storytelling unobtrusively underpinned by good science.
an entirely absorbing narrative made all the more rich by its wordlessness.
`` Kirkus Reviews hailed it as ``a splendid debut.
