Sue,

This review is from: A Dinosaur Named Sue: The Find of the Century (Hello Reader!, Level 4) (Scholastic Reader Level 3) (Paperback)
Dinosaurs are a hot topic right now...and A Dinosaur Named Sue: The Find of the Century really teaches young kids about the job of a paleontologist--in a positive light. SUE, the most complete T. rex fossil ever found, is an amazing discovery, both educationally AND on basis of interest, and children should definitely read all they can about this dinosaur. This book approaches SUE on the level of a 3rd grader, yet the language and subject matter are intelligient enough for a parent to find interesting--maybe even to learn from! I definitely did!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: A Dinosaur Named Sue: The Find of the Century (Hello Reader!, Level 4) (Scholastic Reader Level 3) (Paperback)
I saw SUE in Chicago last week. In this book I learned that SUE was named after Susan who found the fossils. Susan had a dog named Gypsy. They kept on digging up duck-billed dinosaurs. Sue's boned weighed 4 tons!! The Field Museum bought it for over eight million dollars! SUE is a T.rex. I think that SUE did fight with other dinosaurs. SUE is 67 million years old! I was happy to see SUE in Chicago and to read this book!

This review is from: A Dinosaur Named Sue: The Find of the Century (Hello Reader!, Level 4) (Scholastic Reader Level 3) (Paperback)
An excellent small book that grade school children can read. Good photos show how a fossil is actually discovered, excavated and prepared. The downside is that statements about T.Rex behavior reflect what was known/theorized at the time of publication; some have been modified since then.
