As a mom, Pre-K teacher, and Education Graduate student, I read A LOT of children's books. I love, love, love this series. The author, Stephen Penner, also illustrates these fun and informative books about dinosaurs. What kid doesn't love dinosaurs? My Pre-K has a full week on them, and during both "review" weeks of the year, the kids always, always choose dinosaurs as a go-to topic.
I so love that these books are not just a great read, but they also teach your child as they are reading. And in a fun way! But I cannot say enough good things about the Dinosaur Mystery Series.
After reading book #2: The Case of the Armored Allosaurus, I ordered book one, #1: The Case of the Truncated Troodon. And I love the new book #3!

When Dinosaur week comes up again, you know I'll be bringing these books to school with me- the kids LOVED books one and two last time.

"The Case of the Enormous Eoraptor" is so adorable. These precocious kids, Nate and Emily, help a professor figure out to whom this fossil belongs. Along the way, of course there are many dinosaur facts to be discovered. My daughter loved to read it, and the Pre-K kids loved being read to! We have a few (ok, more then a few!) Dino-heads in class, so they were enraptured. I left the books at school last time- risky at a Pre-School, I know!- and they apparently got the PM aid to re-read them after I left for the day.

You and your kiddos will have fun reading this together! If you have not read these books- get moving! :)
