Dinosaur Story

Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the boundary between imagination and reality, asking: How do we know dinosaurs were actually here? While many books focus on naming different species, Joanna Cole's classic guide focuses on the evidence. It bridges the gap between the fantastical world of giant lizards and the concrete science of paleontology, satisfying a young explorer's curiosity about the physical world. This early chapter book introduces the work of scientists who dig, clean, and assemble fossilized bones. It validates a child's sense of wonder while grounding it in historical fact and scientific method. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are moving past picture books and want a deeper, more informative look at how we learn about the ancient past. It fosters a sense of pride in human discovery and encourages the mindset of a young researcher.
