Notes:
 

Karen recently completed illustrations for several dinosaur and ancient-life books for Soundprints Corp. "Velociraptor: Small and Speedy" recounts the life and behavior of a group of velociraptors and shows them both as pack hunters and as scavengers.

Interestingly, Karen's instructions were to show velociraptor with feathers, in an ostrich-like color pattern. Feathered velociraptors may not be a scientific certainty, but showing them in this way shakes whatever preconceived notions young reader might bring to this book from motion pictures!
