This Mesozoic Month: June 2020

This Mesozoic Month June 30, 2020June 30, 2020 by David Orr

Halfway through 2020, and it’s time for another This Mesozoic Month roundup of news, writing, art, and merch. I’d like to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of the museum workers who have been so hard hit as this pandemic and its attendant financial crisis continue. Museums are basically a house of …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Ranger Rick’s Dinosaur Book – Part 2

Vintage Dinosaur Art June 27, 2020 by Marc Vincent

While my previous post on this book focused on the work of someone who is an acclaimed wildlife artist – but not a dinosaur specialist – it should be noted that Ranger Rick’s does feature rather a lot of work from some Big Names in palaeoart, especially Mark Hallett and Ely Kish. Most of the …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: The Horned Dinosaurs

Vintage Dinosaur Art June 26, 2020June 24, 2020 by Niels Hazeborg

Theropods this, theropods that. It’s always them good-for-nothing toothy chickens what are hogging all the spotlights around here. Let’s give the noble ceratopsians some love! The Horned Dinosaurs is the kind of dinosaur book we need more of: A highly specialized scientific deep dive into one limited clade of animals, written by a respected palaeontologist …

Mickey and Goofy’s Real Life Monsters

Golden Oldie June 22, 2020June 22, 2020 by David Orr

Here’s another golden oldie from LITC 1.0! All the way back in April of 2010, I shared some pages from a very special title. Enjoy! Volume 6 of Walt Disney’s Fun-To-Learn Library, published by Bantam in 1983, was titled Real Life Monsters. In it, Mickey takes Goofy on a globe-trotting, time-traveling trip to find well, …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Extinct Animals

Vintage Dinosaur Art June 17, 2020June 18, 2020 by Niels Hazeborg

I’ve found another very old dinosaur book! This one was released in 1946, and it’s a short but sweet one. The author and illustrator is one Hilary Stebbing, a stalwart of children’s literature of the mid-20th century. It’s rare to find dinosaur art from the 1940’s, a quiet time for palaeontology for obvious reasons, so …

Vintage Dinosaur Art: Ranger Rick’s Dinosaur Book – part 1

Vintage Dinosaur Art June 11, 2020 by Marc Vincent

Now here’s a blast from the past, and in more than the usual multiple senses – for David took a very brief look at this book back in 2010. It’s a measure of just how much things have changed in a decade that David’s post now seems incongruously short – just a smattering of pics …
