This NF book by multi-award-winning author and illustrator and nationally syndicated cartoonist, Drew Sheneman, is informative and engaging. Based on the works of thousands of scientists and reviewed by Dr. Luis M. Chiappe, Gretchen Augustyn Director at the Dinosaur Institute of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, this visually appealing work brings life to dinosaurs from millions of years ago to those that we encounter daily.
TabathaA As the technical vocabulary may be hard for young students to understand, it would be best presented as a RA, utilizing URL 2. 1 (clarify vocabulary and symbols) and EL 5 (teach technical vocabulary supporting key concepts). Go on a virtual field trip to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and Dig Site: https://wyomingdinosaurcenter.org/dig-deeper-education-outreach/teacher-resource... for a fun text to world experience. 4y

DrSpalding When you mentioned the natural history Museum in your summary and then...what a great idea to take a virtual field trip after reading aloud this book. Excellent idea to clarify vocabulary and teach technical vocabulary when utilizing nonfiction text. 4y
