James Gurney: The World of Dinosaurs

Summary: magical for dino-loving stamp collectors
Review: This book is about dinosaur-commemorative stamps, the art behind the stamps and the dinosaurs that inspired the art. Many children (and their parents) are discovering stamps in the mid-to-late elementary years, and the beautiful dinosaur stamp releases of the past few years are a great way to lead from a small child's fascination with dinosaurs to begin a lifetime hobby. I purchased the featured page "The World of Dinosaurs" as a stocking stuffer for my child when it came out a couple of years ago, and we were delighted to match it up with the book. The book itself was a discovery of a stamp-loving friend. As a person who does not buy books that will only be read once, I recommend it as both a gift and a worthy addition to the home library.
