Product Description
How can you tell dinosaurs apart?You can learn a lot about dinosaurs by looking at their bones. Some dinosaurs were very small; others were huge. Some had sharp, pointy teeth for eating meat; most plant-eaters had flat, dull teeth. Some dinosaurs' hipbones pointed forward, while other dinosaurs' hipbones pointed backward. There were dinosaurs with bony armor on their backs and others with deadly horns on their heads. Today scientists have divided dinosaurs into separate orders according to their special characteristics. It's easy to see--dinosaurs are different.

 Take kids to the next level September 24, 2004

If your kids are really into dinosaurs, then you know by now that a lot of dinosaur books cover the same ground (e.g. what a fossil is, how it's made, what is a dinosaur). After a while, it gets redundant. But Dinosaurs Are Different takes kids to the next level in their understanding of dinosaurs. More specifically, this book covers the difference between bird-hip dinosaurs and lizard-hip dinosaurs. This is not an easy read for kids on their own. But if you discuss the content with them as they go along, they'll be fine. We use this series of books in our homeschool with our Kindergarten-age daughter.

Aliki has a gift for bringing clarity to scientific subjects, and it shows once again in this book. Even (or especially?) children who aren't CRAZY about dinosaurs will enjoy this book. And along the way children will get a thorough exposure to the kind of careful observing and sorting that scientists do. Why not follow the book up with some observing and sorting games?
