"Bones. Bones. We look for bones." Paleontologists start out on a search for dinosaur bones, dig them up and assemble them into reconstructions of familiar dinosaurs. A brief, rhythmic text accompanied by flat, boldly colored illustrations outlined with heavy black lines make this introduction to dinosaur-hunting accessible to very young children. (Ages 18 months-3 years)

Bones. Bones. We look for bones.
We look for the bones of dinosaurs.

Six small paleontologists search for bones. When they find them, they dig them up, wrap them, and load them on a truck, bound for the museum.

There, they carefully put together the bones of a giant dinosaur.

In bright, bold, exuberant pictures, with a text that is just right for reading or chanting aloud, Byron Barton looks at just what happens to the bones left behind by dinosaurs of long, long ago.
