Dinosaur Bones

Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, and then they all died out. So how do we know what they looked like, or that they existed at all? Aliki's nonfiction picture book answers these questions by showing how scientists have proven that dinosaurs were real by studying fossil remains. Each new fossil find adds a piece to the picture of what the world was like all those years ago. The book is colorfully illustrated, with lively pictures, informative details and humorous touches, some of them in speech balloons. It is written for early elementary readers, at home or in the classroom. Dinosaur Bones is a Level 2 title in the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out science series, which means it explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades. The series focuses on answering a single question per book, uses simple charts and graphics to build visual literacy, and has been recognized with the AAAS/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series. Its books are also designed to support common science and STEM education standards.
