For The Child Who Loves Dinosaurs

Interesting and educational, this was a hit with my five year old dinosaur lover. This is well written and beautifully illustrated, however, not necessarily for children who are younger than five. My three year old (soon to be four) did not understand the process of how this creature came to be a fossil. Still, this is one to have in your library for generations to come.

This book starts out with a little girl who find a fossil. Then we are taken on a journey through her imagination of what the fossil is. She thinks that it belongs to a flying raptor. She imagines what it's day was like flying through the sky. The paintings show how after the creature dies it's bones turn to fossils over time. This is a good picture book to introduce young kids to the concept of fossils. I would recommend this book. It's the right length to keep the attention of kids of all ages.
