Reviews
Grade 6 Up–The author surveys more than 300 dinosaur sites state by state in the U.S. and province by province in Canada. Entries include addresses, phone numbers, Web sites, and short descriptions of exhibits. For each state, there is also a Bone Digger Bonus, which tells a story about a particular exhibit or type of dinosaur found there. But this is much more than just a travel guide. A shopping section tells where to find dinosaur-themed candy, stickers, and pajamas. There is an extensive list of Web sites, enough for kids to do their traveling via computer, if that's the only way they can go, and contact information for the Geological Survey Office in each region. Pencil drawings of all types of prehistoric creatures decorate the pages. This is a wonderful resource; it's useful as an introduction to places of interest and a great armchair guide to the world of dinosaurs.–Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA
