Take kids to the next level

If your kids are really into dinosaurs, then you know by now that a lot of dinosaur books cover the same ground (e.g. what a fossil is, how it's made, what is a dinosaur). After a while, it gets redundant. But Dinosaurs Are Different takes kids to the next level in their understanding of dinosaurs. More specifically, this book covers the difference between bird-hip dinosaurs and lizard-hip dinosaurs. This is not an easy read for kids on their own. But if you discuss the content with them as they go along, they'll be fine. We use this series of books in our homeschool with our Kindergarten-age daughter.

Another Aliki winner!

Aliki has a gift for bringing clarity to scientific subjects, and it shows once again in this book. Even (or especially?) children who aren't CRAZY about dinosaurs will enjoy this book. And along the way children will get a thorough exposure to the kind of careful observing and sorting that scientists do. Why not follow the book up with some observing and sorting games?
