Dinosaur Bones (Bob Barner) Hardcover – Picture Book, August 7, 2001

I am a pre k teacher, and this book is a welcome addition to my classroom. The children loved hearing the story, and learning all about dinosaurs like the Bracciasaurus, triceratops, Spinasaurus, t-Rex, and stegosaurus. We then made our own dinosaur books, dinosaurs and city complete with painted rocks, river,grass for the herbivores, and mountains. My only wish was that characters came with the story. I started purchasing books with characters, and when it's story time I introduce the character and state that he/ she is sharing a special story today. Then I bring the character to life, and have the character choose a friend and that child holds the character throughout the story. If I have more than one character, I ask each character. The children love it, and it makes story time fun. During the day the story and character(s) are in the classroom library for the children during quiet reading times. This story is definitely a must have if you are learning about dinosaurs as the author explains it in an age appropriate manner.

This is a book we use with our preschool class every year in our dinosaur unit. Easy to understand and great art work.

We needed a book for book character day to go with my son's dinosaur bones costume. :)

This is a wonderful book for 2 to 4 year olds. My 2 year old daughter is in love with all things "dinosaur" right now. After viewing the video several times, she was ecstatic when she saw the book. The illustrations are large and in vivid colors. The writing and lettering are clear and easy for the young emerging reader. Parents and young aspiring archaeologists will enjoy reading about the history of dinosaurs, in the light-hearted, humorous, and rhythmic Bob Barner style. Hopefully, Scholastic Books releases the dvd soon along with Dem Bones, which are only viewable on cable "on demand." I also recommend Bob Barner's Dem Bones.

This is a fantastic book, but it is a bit costly. I used it for a lesson for my three year olds in their preschool room, and they were enthralled. What I like most is that it can serve two purposes. The brief and humorous poem is perfect for three year olds. The rest of the information written on the bottom of the page is appropriate for older children. So this book is written for children of all ages (even me!). The illustrations are the bomb!

My son adores this book. Has not tired of it, even after reading it every single night for months now. I bought it because we ran out of renewals at the library and I think this one will be in our reading rotation for a long time. At 2.5 years old, he knows his dinos and it very interested in fossils/bones/skeletons because of this book. It's a good length and it isn't scary so I don't have to skip any parts because he's so young.

This children's book, "Dinosaur Bones" by Bob Barner,is great for children ages 18 mos. to 3 years. I sent this along with other books to my grandson for his 2nd birthday, and he LOVED it! The pictures are large and the "story" not too long so as to get boring. Alex loves to make dino noises along with each page! This Grandma is very pleased with this pick, as she knows you and your little one will be, too!

Great dinosaur book! My grandson loves it! He can occupy himself by looking at the pictures or it holds his attention when we read together
