Welcome to Litsy!

Two thumb spurs up! Science Comics series varies widely with the quality of storytelling. SC: Dinosaurs is on the high end.

This is a history of paleontology as much as an exploration of dino biology. Light on geology and the process of fossilizing (🤓 permineralization) but 🤷‍♀️ it's just shy of 120 pgs. At my library, I'll be using the first 10-15 pgs to introduce dino storytime. #dw2020reads

So excited to finally read an installment of the Science Comics series! I have a newfound interest in dinosaurs after listening to My Beloved Brontosaurus last month. This is a middle grade non-fiction comic (#ReadHarder all-ages comic!) that will surely appeal to tons of kids and adults interested in learning more. I loved the humor and the framing in this. Science is so freaking cool.

Nonfiction comic with fantastic art + interesting info about dinosaurs + the history of paleontology! SO FUN.

I admit that I judged this cover as "younger" than this book actually reads but I feel like pretty much all ages will love this. My entire household has spent many hours with this comic (I love that). Every time I put it on the shelf, someone pulls it off for a reread ?

Also: I am on the search for more graphic work by Joe Flood ??

Fantastic nonfiction graphic novel, a history of paleontology and dinosaur discoveries. Not just about dinosaurs, but about science and the quest for understanding. I loved the chapter breaks which gave a rundown of the scientific "knowns" of that year, which we see change across different time periods.
