Here We Go Digging for Dinosaur Bones by Susan Lendroth - ESSENTIAL

Here We Go Digging for Dinosaur Bones by Susan Lendroth, illustrated by Bob Kolar PICTURE BOOK Charlesbridge, 2020. $17. 9781623541040

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A group of paleontologists are working at a dig, doing all the things dinosaur hunters do, and then back at the museum, they study and put together the dinosaur they found! 

I loved that both the author and the illustrator knew exactly what they were doing. The text describing each scene is scientifically accurate, and the illustrations are super cute. The tools are authentic, even the small details, like drawing the discovery in their notebook and the vinac glue used to clean the bones in the lab. My daughter is a paleontologist and is completely gushing over this book! A highly recommended addition to your elementary school library, and a fun buy for any kid who loves dinosaurs. Includes additional detailed information about dinosaurs, dinosaurs on the end papers, and actions to go with the song for storytime.
