I really enjoyed this particular book because not only does it have the text features that benefit young readers, but it is set up to ask thought provoking questions that it then provides logical anwers. Any times you can make young readers think. It is also very nice to have vocabulary highlighted to assist in understanding. This book would add a lot to a science unit while also meeting reading standards.

I really enjoyed this book simply because it involves a lot more science than typical dinosaur books. The very first thing the book covers is what a theory is and when talking about dinosaurs I think it very important thing to tell children that we don't know with 100% certainty what happened to the dinosaurs.
