I have two sons who are 2 and 7-1/2 -- it's hard to find a book both of them like at the same time. They both love Dinosaur Bones! The younger one loves the pictures and simple rhymes, and the older one loves reading them to him. But there is also the smaller print on each page containing more advanced information, which is fun to read to my older son when we are one-on-one. We've checked this book out of the library a half-dozen times, and keep renewing it until they won't let us anymore. So I'm finally going to buy it!!!

My son adores this book. Has not tired of it, even after reading it every single night for months now. I bought it because we ran out of renewals at the library and I think this one will be in our reading rotation for a long time. At 2.5 years old, he knows his dinos and it very interested in fossils/bones/skeletons because of this book. It's a good length and it isn't scary so I don't have to skip any parts because he's so young.

My 9 week old loves to look at the photos while I read the big text. The contrasting bones on the colorful background really get her attention. She loves it. When she is older we'll read the smaller text. She also loves the first and last pages of dinosaur foot prints.

This children's book, "Dinosaur Bones" by Bob Barner,is great for children ages 18 mos. to 3 years. I sent this along with other books to my grandson for his 2nd birthday, and he LOVED it! The pictures are large and the "story" not too long so as to get boring. Alex loves to make dino noises along with each page! This Grandma is very pleased with this pick, as she knows you and your little one will be, too!

This is a wonderful book for 2 to 4 year olds. My 2 year old daughter is in love with all things "dinosaur" right now. After viewing the video several times, she was ecstatic when she saw the book. The illustrations are large and in vivid colors. The writing and lettering are clear and easy for the young emerging reader. Parents and young aspiring archaeologists will enjoy reading about the history of dinosaurs, in the light-hearted, humorous, and rhythmic Bob Barner style. Hopefully, Scholastic Books releases the dvd soon along with Dem Bones, which are only viewable on cable "on demand." I also recommend Bob Barner's Dem Bones.

This is a fantastic book, but it is a bit costly. I used it for a lesson for my three year olds in their preschool room, and they were enthralled. What I like most is that it can serve two purposes. The brief and humorous poem is perfect for three year olds. The rest of the information written on the bottom of the page is appropriate for older children. So this book is written for children of all ages (even me!). The illustrations are the bomb!
