Dinosaur Bones

We loved this book! Gave us lots of info and children were fascinated by the foot prints at the back.

Fun but scientifically based book.

Children love it

Lovely to share with a class.

Lovely book for small boys.

Awful

My grandson enjoyed checking this book out from the library so much that we had to buy it! The illustrations are colorful and appropriate for young children. The text is a catchy rhyme that is supported by interesting facts. This is great starter book for young children interested in dinosaurs.

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

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!
