Author Notes: George O'Connor is the creator of several children's books, including the New York Times best-selling Olympians series, retellings of Greek myths in comic form. About If I Had a Raptor, he says, "Someone smarter than me once remarked that if your cat was a little bigger and you were a little bit smaller, it would eat you. That comparison informed my dino ization of the house cat in If I Had a Raptor ." George O'Connor lives (with his clawed and clever cat) in Brooklyn.
