An infamous feud between fossil hunters is spun into a Dr. Seussinspired American tale in this playfulintroduction to fossil hunting based on an actual historical event.

This first book in the Unhinged History series is a ripping yarnfull of adventure and deceitthat brings to life the best-known public spat in all of paleontology: the bitter rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh.

This frenzy of discovery and one-upmanshipknown today as the Bone Warswas a gold rushlike scramble to find the most and best dinosaur fossils, thus bringing to glory to their respective home-base universities.

Lively and witty rhymes plus wonderfully demented illustrations reveal how the paleontologists infamous rivalry began, and howdespite making genuine and lasting contributions to the fieldtheir mutual obsession with outdoing one another spun out of control.[AuthorName]By Ted Enik and Illustrated by G.
