COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1—In this interactive title, readers discover interesting facts about a dozen dinosaurs. Each page sets up an "I wonder" statement, the answer to which is often revealed by lifting a flap: "I wonder what stegosaurus is doing in the undergrowth. She is eating ferns and other plants growing close to the ground." Extra facts can be found on each page, which help to deepen the readers' understanding. Children will enjoy the bright collage art, subject matter, and interactive nature of this book. Simple facts make it ideal for a younger audience. An excellent choice for lap reading.—Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh, PA
Each double-page spread features the name of a dinosaur (e.g., "Diplodocus") and an "I wonder" question ("I wonder how long diplodocus is"). Readers then look to a flap, cut-out, or pop-up feature to reveal additional, brief explanations of structure-function relationships or best reasoning to answer each question. Vibrant collage illustrations enhance the presentation for dinosaur fans.
