Fantastic But Expensive

This is a fantastic book, but it is a bit costly. I used it for a lesson for my three year olds in their preschool room, and they were enthralled. What I like most is that it can serve two purposes. The brief and humorous poem is perfect for three year olds. The rest of the information written on the bottom of the page is appropriate for older children. So this book is written for children of all ages (even me!). The illustrations are the bomb!

Fun for lots of ages!

I have two sons who are 2 and 7-1/2 -- it's hard to find a book both of them like at the same time. They both love Dinosaur Bones! The younger one loves the pictures and simple rhymes, and the older one loves reading them to him. But there is also the smaller print on each page containing more advanced information, which is fun to read to my older son when we are one-on-one. We've checked this book out of the library a half-dozen times, and keep renewing it until they won't let us anymore. So I'm finally going to buy it!!!
