Time Flies
Time Flies | Eric Rohmann
50 posts | 18 read
Time Flies , a wordless picture book, is inspired by the theory that birds are the modern relatives of dinosaurs. This story conveys the tale of a bird trapped in a dinosaur exhibit at a natural history museum. Through Eric's use of color, readers can actually see the bird enter into a mouth of a dinosaur, and then escape unscathed. Eric Rohmann's Caldecott Honor-winning debut is now available as a Dragonfly paperback. It is at once a wordless time-travel adventure and a meditation on the scientific theory that dinosaurs were the evolutionary ancestors of birds. The New York Times Book Review called Time Flies "a work of informed imagination and masterly storytelling unobtrusively underpinned by good science...an entirely absorbing narrative made all the more rich by its wordlessness." Kirkus Reviews hailed it as "a splendid debut."

Published in 1994 this picture ONLY book tells a story through these wonderful illustrations of a time when dinosaurs walked the land. I think picture only books are really great for young children. They can still tell what is happening from the pictures but do not need to know how to read so that's great.

Time Flies by Eric Rohman (picture book published 1994) was a book with no words. I enjoyed the message & the idea of the bird flying though time periods but it was a kind of drab book with the colors.

This picture was really cool to me because the bird is inside flying through the dinosaur. The detail of the illustration is very well done.

I liked how this book told a story with the pictures and how the little bird in the beginning was in all of the pictures through out the book, telling you a story.

This book is told all in beautiful illustrations. It shows the journey of a bird who seemingly goes back in time to the time of the dinosaurs. The illustrations are just breathtaking and so wonderfully done.

Caldecott honor book, 1994. Picture book that tells about the time when the dinosaurs were alive. Bird flies through and sees all types of dinosaurs and ends up in the mouth of one at the end. Pictures fill the page and are bold.

My favorite image in this story is when you can see the bird is flying through the dinosaur.

This story is wordless but shows ideas of natural cycles. I like that this book pushes limits in a sense, because most children‘s book stray away from graphic ideas. I think it is important for children to understand human nature and not be afraid of it.

A bird is flying through the ages of the dinosaurs. The bird is experiencing the dinosaurs environment. Transformations of what dinosaurs look like evolve through time while a bird is a witness. Award: Caldecott Honor; Published: 1994; Illustrator: Eric Rohmann

I think this would be a great book to show a classroom how dinosaurs look different, but how their structure is similar. Some dinosaurs used to fly, and others didn‘t have wings but were huge in size. The characteristics of the dinosaur‘s structure could be related to humans since humans all have similar bone structure.

While the book features no words, the story is told throughout the book‘s illustrations. The story is of a bird who seems to have gotten into a dinosaur history museum. The bird is very interested in the dinosaur bones and structure. I think the bird imagines what life would be like if dinosaurs were real, and then feels like he is in the mouth of one of the dinosaurs.

published in 1994. This book is very very different than most children books. This book has no words and the illustrations are very very detailed so that the story is still there within the book.

Published in 1994 and awarded the Caldecott in 1995, a wordless story come to life through the illustrations in the life of a small bird. The detailed, realistic illustrations paint a picture of the bird imagination and allow you to create any story you may see behind the pictures. The use of color is very important in a book like this because it enables the reader to imagine a time where this was once reality.

I am amazed by the way Rohmann told an entire story completely through his illustrations. It is an inspiring story of creativity and imagination. I would use this in my future classroom especially if we are learning about dinosaurs.

In this Caldecott Honor book, the illustrator Eric Rohmann uses only pictures to portray his story. He doesn‘t use any words but the reader and understand exactly what is happening through his detailed and realistic pictures. The story is about a bird in a museum that flies through time and is suddenly surrounded by real dinosaurs.

The picture of when the bird is flying next to the tyrannosaurus rex and somewhat telling it to go away was awesome because he was defending the brachiosaurus that saved him from the pterodactyls.

The pictures are so colorful and inspiring. This picture book dosen't have any words but it draws the audience a picture of a bird flying from the present to past. The bird flys through the bones and into what they use to be. After the experience, the bird flys away from the fossils.

This book was written in 1994. This book contained only illustrations and no text. This book allows the reader to use their imagination and provide their own story. Children would love making their own story with the dinosaurs. The story could fluctuate between past and present.

The colors were standard colors - calm and consistent. They reminded me of the Disney movie, “Land Before Time.”

This book had no words, but had detailed illustrations. My first impression was that it would be difficult to follow with no words, but the pictures speak for themselves. I was immediately intrigued. The illustrator kept the characters limited which helped eliminate any confusion when going from scene to scene. The cover did not have a picture that hooked me right away.
