For the Dinosaur Buffs in Your Life

This book will appeal to dinosaur buffs especially if they love dogs too. It also is a great introduction to Mary Ann Anning who was instrumental in the development of the dinosaur concept. It wasn't known what these bones were in the early 1800's and the scientific method was just beginning to be used regularly. The kids can go on to harder books about dinosaurs and fossils later. A good book for a jumping off point into the study of dinosaurs.
