A Mission to Enhance Homework, February 10, 2005
This review is from: Dinosaur (DK/Google E.guides) (Hardcover)
Homework takes on a new meaning when you get to go online to research topics. DK and Google are producing books to make homework a journey into discovery. Information springs to life in color pictures, 3-D models and maps.
This book has a website dedicated to the topic of Dinosaurs. The links are age-appropriate and children can also download images or do additional research.
Some of the topics in this book include:
Body Fossils
Examining Footprints
Feeding
Dinosaurs on Display
Turning to Stone
Dinosaur Habitats
Children can see what a dinosaur looked like inside an egg or how a Baryonx looked while playfully catching fish with its claws. This book also answers questions like:
How did parents care for the young dinosaurs?
Was the Tyrannosaurus a hunter or scavenger?
Did Dinosaurs travel in herds?
How are Dinosaur bones collected in the field?
What does a Jurassic shark look like?
The Elasmosaurus is a fascinating sea giant and looks rather playful except for the sharp teeth. A few pages are given to creatures of the air and sea, but most of the book focuses on dinosaurs that peacefully roamed the earth nibbling on a shrub here or there. Then you have the Giganotosaurus that hunted by ambush.
The variety in this book will fascinate children and you can learn about everything from the size of a dinosaur's brain to the way a computer can manipulate an image to show what a fossil looked like before it became deformed and preserved.
