WHAT'S WRONG IN DINOSAUR TIMES?
Hi, we’re Leah and Eddie! Join us as we travel back in time and discover all sorts of interesting creatures in dinosaur times.
But watch out! In each scene there are five out-of-place things. Can you find them all? Look carefully, as some are hard to spot.
Turn to the back of the book for handy explanations about what’s wrong, as well as a strange but true! fact per scene—these might seem wrong, but they’re actually right!
LET THE SEARCH BEGIN!
PSST! Dinosaurs lived a LONG time ago. When you see MYA next to a date, this means million years ago.
FIERY PLANET EARLY TO MID JURASSIC (201 - 164 MYA)
The land changed a lot in dinosaur times as fiery volcanoes blasted out scalding ash, gas, and rocks over it. Run for cover! Can you spot five things that are wrong or don’t belong here?
My Take
This is a fun activity book that will have kids engaged as they try to find the mistakes that are embedded in nine Mesozoic scenes. Two friendly guides give clues and there are 5 anomalies to discover per scene.
The illustrations are bright, busy and cartoonish in nature. They are very kid-friendly and kids will giggle as they see dinosaurs wearing headphones, reading books and showing off their sharp, pearly whites, just to cite a few. Kids love dinosaur themes and hunting for hidden objects so I know this book will be a fun read and engagement for them. The book will entertain as well as develop their cognitive skills and their spatial awareness also. The introduction paragraph regarding each new section is a nice segue into a new adventure. Recommended but not enthusiastically.
