? gives young readers a simple introduction to four dinosaur species: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops.
By imagining dinosaurs in modern-day scenarios, readers can learn about their size, diet and other features. For example, a Stegosaurus weighed as much as three cars so just imagine how it would play on a seesaw!
Engaging question and answer format will keep young readers entertained and help them to understand and retain dinosaur facts.
Review
"What if T-Rex was . . .reaaaallly hungry? T-Rex could gulp down about 500 pounds of meat in just one mouthful. Thats about 2,000 hamburgers! What if T-Rex came for a sleepover? Would he pack a toothbrush? T-Rex wouldnt need to brush his teeth. He grows new teeth when his old ones fall out. Some of them were as big as bananas!"
