Kimberly (kimberlywithat) | 7 comments It was first read in the late 80s. It had a different dinosaur on each page with an illustration. It was a paperback, only 20 or so pages. Possibly from Scholastic. That's all the info I have, I know it's not much to go on, I appreciate any help!

Kimberly, have you tried searching on Worldcat.org? This website is great for finding older children's books.

For example:

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments Was it a nonfiction book?
Were the illustrations realistic, cartoony, black and white, etc?

Kimberly (kimberlywithat) | 7 comments Nonfiction. The cover was more cartoon-ish than realistic. Colors.

One page apparently featured a bone head dinosaur that had a silly grin.
