Book Description

K and upGroovy Tube Books
Readers will dig these books! Groovy Tubes offer more than just a book-they allow children to learn on many levels through reading and playing. An educational book, with fascinating facts, zany illustrations, and photographs or realistic art, provides the base of this three-tiered package. Activities at the back of the book and a game board folded into the box with fact-filled quiz cards will provide hours of fun. The play creatures in the spine tube extend the learning in a tactile way, as all components work together to familiarize children with the subject matter.

It's been millions of years since the last dinosaur roamed the Earth, but dinosaurs remain the subject of much fascination and study. Dino-Might! teaches what dinosaurs ate, where they lived, and how they defended themselves. Also included are possible reasons for their extinction and a timeline that shows the different eras.

About the Author

A prolific writer of nonfiction for younger readers, Michael Burgan has contributed to numerous book series since beginning his publishing career in the mid-1990s. Although he has produced fiction and adaptations of several literary works, Burgan focuses for the most part on American history and on writing biographies of notable men and women from history. In addition to conventional histories such as The Trail of Tears, which was dubbed "concise" and objective by School Library Journal contributor Ann Welton, he has also helped encourage reluctant readers by penning boy-centered books such as The World's Fastest Military Airplanes, Great Moments in Basketball, biographies of professional wrestlers "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock, and several titles in Capstone Press's "Graphic History" series. Presenting factual topics in a fully illustrated graphic-novel format, book such as Burgan's The Curse of King Tut's Tomb were praised by School Library Journal contributor Peg Glisson as "historically accurate" as well as "fun and interesting reads" capable of inspiring further research into their "high-interest subject matter."

Career

Weekly Reader Corp., Middletown, CT, editor, 1988–94; freelance writer, 1994–. Hartford Food System, member of board of directors, 1997–.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best toy dinosaurs!, January 11, 2012
This review is from: Dino Might! - Groovy Tubes (Hardcover)
We bought this item at a hotel gift shop last year for our then 3 year old son. I must admit, we read the book once and didn't play the games. However, the dinosaurs are the best quality dinosaurs we have purchased so far. They are not cheaply made, the colors are vibrant, and they are very detailed. Unfortunately our dog has gotten to many of them eating off the heads, tails, and some of the feet. So I am repurchasing this just for the dinosaurs. Great job Innovative Kids!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a book, kit includes animals & game!, July 14, 2007
By 
A fun kit with a neat book, gameboard, cards, and plastic animals. You have to answer questions on cards about animals to advance in the game and the animals are the game pieces, and you win by collecting the most as you play. It's a fun way to learn. In addition to some of the regular animals, there are some you don't usually see like a meerkat and cheetah.

This kit would be a nice gift for children, is recommended for 5 & up (my 8 1/2 year old loves it) and for teachers.

There are other books in the Groovy Tubes series about horses, dogs, bugs, reptiles, sea creatures, arctic animals, & dinosaurs.
