Captain Raptor and the Moon Mystery Hardcover - 2005

From the rear cover

The planet Jurassica is in an uproar. An unidentified flying object has crashed into the mysterious moon of Eon. This looks like a job for ... CAPTAIN RAPTOR! ... hero of a thousand space missions; champion of truth, justice, and dinosaurs in space throughout the galaxy! If anyone can solve the terrible moon mystery, it's Captain Raptor and his fearless crew! Kevin O'Malley is the author and illustrator of more books than he should ever have been allowed to publish. This is the first project in which he has only been the writer. He and Patrick O'Brien have been friends for years, but he still can't believe how many liberties Patrick took trying to revise his text. Kevin O'Malley lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife and two sons. Patrick O'Brien is the author and illustrator of nine books for children. He dreamed up the concept of dinosaurs in spacesuits many years ago, but it was the irrepressibly zany mind of Kevin O'Malley that finally created the interstellar hero Captain Raptor. For his part, Patrick still can't believe how many liberties Kevin took trying to revise his illustrations. Patrick O'Brien lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with his wife and son.
