Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs

Barton shades his characteristic bold shapes with streaks of gray in pictures that express the very essence of children's wishes to be astronauts. The accompanying text is minimal and beautifully precise: "I want to be up there/on a space mission" shows two pilots at the controls of the space shuttle and the rest of the crew functioning (in a cutaway view) in the rest of the ship. An ode to the sort of child's play that leads to dreams-come-true.Barton, Byron is the author of 'Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs' with ISBN 9780694002696 and ISBN 0694002690.
