Welcome to Litsy!

the graphics are super cool

this is a book kids will love. Exploration and dinosaurs! Who could resist the fun of a real t-rex

Great read!

I like this book because it could be used when you teach dinosaurs in younger grades and show how they were discovered and how we know they are real.

Great Non-fiction book about story of Barnum Brown and his discovery.

“ he must be able to smell fossils” I like this club because he uses figurative language to explain how well he can find fossils and things.

I love how determined he is. I feel like this page captures his determination for his career and research.

A nonfiction story about a paleontologist, who discovered the first documented skeleton of the T-Rex, along with many other dinasaurs and fossils.

While reading this book, I kept thinking how much some of my students would love reading this book and learning new things about dinosaurs and fossils.

I know a lot of students that I've had in the past are really into dinosaurs and love learning about each of them and where they come from so I think this would be a really great read aloud option for any elementary grade. It could definitely be a fun and engaging book for students to read since they can connect and use past knowledge that they might've learned themselves.

Some of the illustrations

I think I will always be a bit amazed by this man who between 1897 and 1963 helped compile the largest collection of dinosaur bones, collecting bones on almost every continent.

I love the end pages on this children‘s book, with snippets of his letters back as he explored.

I loved this one, it‘s a children‘s book I picked up on a whim at the library about Barnum, a famous bone hunter...I was looking for more on him after reading the Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs last month, and stumbled upon this children‘s book that has a great mix of facts and illustrations.
