Jurassic Park The Movie Storybook

by Jane B. Mason

In the beginning, Isla Nublar lay silent...uninhabited. But a startling scientific experiment and a weathly man's fantasy have turned the small island into a place of terrible wonder. It is called Jurassic Park. And here-where ancient jungles thrive and primitive life renews-dinosaurs of eons past walk on earth once more.

About the author

Jane B. Mason grew up in a large family in northern Minnesota. She has written books for kids of all ages under many names and on many subjects, among them ghosts, Jedi, detective duos, princesses, twins, mean girls, and slam books.

Jane has lived in the midwest and on both coasts, but appears to have settled in Oakland, California, and writes almost every day at either a friend's dining room table or a little studio in her back yard, where she has a purple loveseat, a whole lotta books, and an odd selection of trinkets she has unwittingly been collecting since she was a child.

I liked that it was a little scary and that Tim, the little boy, didn't die from the raptors.

Found this buried in my childhood book collection and gave it to my best friend’s son who is super into Jurassic Park and dinosaurs. It does a decent job of summarizing the movie and has pictures from the film throughout. I was wondering how it would handle the character deaths since it comes off like a children’s book. The deaths are still in there, just not necessarily super obvious if you didn’t already know.

I had a love/hate relationship with dinosaurs when I was little. I loved watching movies about them and learning about them, but ironically most of my nightmares were about the dinosaur movies I had watched! So when Jurassic Park came out (I was around 12) I was too scared to actually watch the movie but I wanted so bad to know everything about it so I got this book instead.
