AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
On a class field trip to a natural history museum, Kimmy
eagerly anticipates sharing her knowledge about dinosaurs, but is intimidated
by the idea that perhaps girls can’t be scientists. Kimmy’s perceptive teacher
draws out her enthusiasm and expertise, which surprises and benefits the whole
class.
A fun book! In an unobtrusive way, it shows that a
scientific bent can be present in girls and boys, children and adults. Besides
the interesting information about dinosaurs, the book briefly highlights some
famous female paleontologists.
