When a farmer
finds a dinosaur bone on his land in Argentina, it is brought to the attention
of paleontologists. Its starts a massive dig for the largest dinosaur bones
ever found –from a 100 million year old sauropod, with lots of extra
discoveries along the way. Fully illustrated with large pages.
This is a top
notch book which, per my wildest wishes, is not only illustrated, but contains
fact boxes, tons of photographs of the dig, the bones, the scientists and more.
Young readers will love this book and there is just enough information to
present for K-2. This book will have students wanting to become paleontologists right away because it reads like a treasure finding story. One of my favorite
non-fiction books I have reviewed in a LONG time.
