This is a similar book to my own My Daspletosaur. It's book written for children interested in going out on a real dinosaur dig. Its well written and great for the middle school age kid

I like the way this book told about dinosaurs and the way they lived and how their bones come to be discovered through the story of a real dinosaur hunter. The language was easy to understand and there were a few little anecdotes that made the read easy. I think this book would help inspire future paleontologists.

I have to admit, I tricked him into reading this book. He saw some colorful bookmarks by the counter in the library, and I told them he could have one if he read this. So he did.

I don't think he regrets it, but I do feel devious.
