Has it ever occurred to you back in the mid-nineteenth century most people didn’t have any idea what a dinosaur looked like?  As a young boy, Waterhouse Hawkins loved sketching the world around him, especially animals.  Not only did he love drawing and painting them, he loved sculpting models of them.  Even though dinosaur fossils had been found most people had no idea what a dinosaur looked like.  Waterhouse followed his dream and devoted over three decades to building the first life-size models of dinosaurs.  Barbara Kerley tells his extraordinary story of passion and courage in The Dinosaurs Of Waterhouse Hawkins.
