I thought that the point of view in which this story was told (revealed at the end) makes the story very interesting. Since it is a chapter book this would have to be used with the older grades. I would use this story to talk about POV within texts.
pickFrom the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg was published in 1967. This is a story that follows two young children who are siblings who run away from home in an attempt to make their absence noticeable to their parents. The children go to the Metropolitan Art Museum and from there meet many interesting characters and interesting circumstances.
This was a great picture that depicted the bird flying through the times of the bones, back to when they were still alive. Great illustrations!
I chose this book to be so-so. I would use this in a classroom library or even do a class workshop where the students tell me their interpretation.
pickTime Flies by Eric Rohmann is a picture book that was written in 1994 and selected as a Caldecott Honor book in 1995. This book is a picture book that depicts the travels of a bird though the ages of the dinosaurs. The book puts the perspective of the bird traveling through the assembled bones of the dinosaurs in a museum.

When I visited the National Gallery, many years ago, this painting by Joseph Wright of Derby stopped me in my tracks. I‘ve never forgotten it. It‘s disturbing but fascinating at the same time.
