About this title

From the Publisher:

All Zeno Zeplin's childrens books are classroom created with students and/or edited with teachers and students in a series of public and parochial schools in manuscript until the enticement to read, the interest, excitement, and satisfaction are all there. Only then are his books published. Zeplin's children's books are clean, non-violent, enjoyable learning experiences that are also satisfying to teachers and parents.

From the Author:

My young readers kept suggesting a dinosaur story. I researched dinosaur fossils found in Texas. This inspired an adventurous story that only begins with discovery. I wanted my readers to imagine it could happen to them. It is a family story and one of growing up from an exciting discovery. My young classroom editors and their teachers found construction errors, added details, suggested better words and phrases and cleared up any confusions. We learned much from ourselves and created an exciting story together to satisfy us all. The possibilities of such writing adventures in our schools are infinite for all writers. Back in elementary school this way, every writer will learn more than they imagine. Read "our book" and imagine this is happening to you.
