Can a T. rex take a selfie? Will woolly mammoth's throwback
Thursday photo get the most likes? What if prehistoric creatures

digital world has given birth to a new language--the hashtag
language. #PREHISTORIC offers a unique opportunity to connect with
kids in their language while introducing them to the incredible
dinosaurs and animals of the prehistoric world. Each creature has
its own humorous username and caption as well as a user info page
that offers basic facts, stats, and photos. A comment section
provides humorously imagined dinosaur banter. The hashtags also
serve to present information in a contemporary voice. #PREHISTORIC
is a melding of old and new and fun and informative, making
nonfiction incredibly accessible for young readers.
