Synopsis

There once was a little dog named Tray. He lived in England with his owner, Mary Ann Anning. Besides Mary Ann, Tray loved one other thing: He loved to dig for dinosaur bones. Together he and Mary Ann found small bones, big bones, and even entire skeletons! People came from all around the world to see the bones they found.
This is the honestly true story of Tray, the dog that dug for dinosaurs.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 1-3–Redmond tells the story of how 12-year-old Mary Ann Anning and her dog Tray found numerous dinosaur fossils in England in the early 1800s. Beginning with a clear definition of fossils, the text describes how the companions searched the seaside cliffs, Tray using his sense of smell and Mary Ann employing the tools of a paleontologist (a small hammer and chisel). The fossils they helped to recover are on exhibit in London's Natural History Museum. The illustrations are simple and cartoonlike. This easy-to-read book can be used to introduce more in-depth titles on the subject.–Deborah Rothaug, Pasadena Elementary School, Plainview, NY
