I've also been sent a copy of this to review (no idea why me, but I
keep getting sent kids' books -- good ones!)  What Dr. Tom is not
telling you is that one of the Skrepnick illustrations, on page 17, is
of a mounted tyrannosaur skeleton standing next to a palaeontologist
who will look strangely familiar to many on this list ...

He's even wearing the same sweater as in the photo on his home page!
