This review is from: Dinosaur Mummies: Beyond Bare-Bone Fossils (Hardcover)

As an elementary school teacher, I've spent years teaching 10-12 year olds about dinosaurs. Milner's Dinosaur Mummies is one of the best books that I've seen for this age group. She's packed in fascinating and current information into a friendly format. The text is written beautifully. It's easy enough for most or these kids to read indepently, while engaging the interest of the most experienced reader.

And the pictures!!! The artwork for this book is worth the price alone.

This is an excellent resource and should be a part of every dinosaur lover's library!

This review is from: Dinosaur Mummies: Beyond Bare-Bone Fossils (Hardcover)

Who knew you could pack so much amazing information into 48 pages? There are lots of mummified dinosaurs in this book, including Ciro (a.k.a. Skippy), Willo, Leonardo, and others. The book also introduces some famous dinosaur hunters: Roy Chapman Andrews, Charles Sternberg, Barnum Brown, Luis Chiappe, Dale Russell, Jack Horner, and many more. Lots of photos and full-color illustrations make this a kid's have-to-have holiday gift, available in both hardcover and paperback (for only $7.95!). ISBN 9781581960341
