About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is obsessed with dinosaurs and wants to move from simple pictures to more complex scientific facts. It is the perfect bridge for a young explorer who has caught the 'discovery bug' and is eager to learn how we know what we know about the prehistoric world. In this adventure, the Bear family visits a local museum dig site where Brother and Sister Bear learn the painstaking process of excavating fossils. The story balances the familiar, comforting family dynamics of the Berenstain Bears with genuine educational content about paleontology, including specific dinosaur names and the work of scientists. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing a sense of curiosity about history and science while enjoying the security of a supportive family unit.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and grounded in science. It briefly touches on the concept of extinction and the passage of millions of years, but does so in a matter-of-fact, non-threatening way for young children.
