Review: Bringing Dinosaur Bones to Life: How Do We Know What Dinosaurs Were Like?

User Review  - Elizabeth S - Goodreads

A good research book on the juvenile shelves. I think it is aimed more for the avid dinosaur lover aged 8-10 rather than my avid dinosaur loving preschooler. We had to skip large portions of the text. Even so, she enjoyed the science we did read and discuss. And the info was interesting to me.
