Dino-loving kids will learn what a dinosaur is by discovering what
it's not, in this fun and innovative introduction to some other
prehistoric creatures. Everyone knows what a dinosaur is, right?
Well, maybe not. Roaming the earth alongside dinosaurs, there were
other less well-known animal species --- but they were not
dinosaurs. So, what is it that sets the dinosaurs apart? Here,
readers are introduced to ten prehistoric animals that look like
dinosaurs, but they're missing at least one key characteristic that
all true dinosaurs have. One by one, each of those ?missing?
characteristics is added to a growing list, so that, by the end of
the book, readers will know what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur!
Bestselling and award-winning author Helaine Becker uses an
innovative approach to expand the world of dinosaurs for young
readers. Each funny, fact-packed spread presents one prehistoric
creature, with a large illustration and information about its
habitat, behavior and characteristics, including which
characteristic makes it not a dinosaur. Cumulative checklists of
these characteristics help readers build a definition of what a
dinosaur is, making complex paleontology concepts accessible. An
example of a true dinosaur at the end ties it all together. All
content has been well-researched and thoroughly vetted by museum
and university paleontologists. Marie-Eve Tremblay's quirky,
colorful illustrations include several clarifying side diagrams to
support understanding. The backmatter contains more about true
dinosaurs as well as a glossary, index and sources for further
reading. With many curriculum links in life science, this book is
particularly useful for lessons on the classification of living
things.
