This is a terrific book. It has appealing characters, a good story, and sound science. The writing is crisp and clear and the illustrations are great fun.
The case of the Truncated Troodon is an enjoyable mystery. My daughter loves the story and she is only three years old. Whether the characters are exploring the landscape of the Late Cretaceous Period or are surrounded by hungry Troodon raptors there is never a dull moment. The story moves along at a great pace while educating the reader of Earth's former inhabitants. We look forward to reading more of Professor Barrister's mysteries.
Loved the book for a variety of reasons. It was a good story surrounding interesting facts about dinosaurs. The section in the back on Dino-facts was great. More important, the problems raised in the story were solved by human ingenuity, both on the part of the professor and the children. Keep the stories coming, Professor Barrister.
