Can you solve why dinosaurs died out? Can you prove how extinction came about? All you need to do is find the last dinosaur and bring back a tooth to prove you found the answer.
The Time Machine series is kind of like Choose You Own Adventure books, but lacks the younger versions' logic loops (that you can sometimes get trapped into) and death scenes. You can't die in a Time Machine book and your choices have effects that seem to be logical. You also end up learning alot even as you flee giant flesh-eating dinosaurs.

Time Machine books are just like the Choose your own adventure books. You read the page and at the end you will find two or three options from which you choose what to do next. Depending on your choice you will go to the page indicated to follow the story. Because of this you may read the book more than once and yet have a different story every time.

The Time Machine series had a high educational value. They usually included many history facts of which a child could learn from. Plus it was very, very fun to read.

Every book contained a data bank on which you could refer to you wanted a hint on the choices you were to make. And the time travel rules where pretty cool; you can not steal, kill any person or animals, jump in time in a scary way, or try to change history.

The specific book had many details on dinosaurs. Your mission is to find and photograph the archaeopteryx, creature believed to be the first bird.

It is so sad these books are not published anymore. I learned alot from them. Get them while you can.
