An imagined hunting scene kicks off this introduction to saber-toothed cats, a well-camouflaged Smilodon fatalis hiding under a bush while a bear, a lion and two wolves pass by (all in the same illustration). A bison is the cat's prey. Using its strong legs and sharp claws, the cat drags down the bison, killing it with either a bite to the throat or a slash to the bison's stomach or side. Thomson goes on to explain how we know so much about these ancient cats: Bones found in asphalt tell us about its size, and from that, scientists can determine what it ate, how it caught its prey and a bit about its social groups. Scientists think that these cats became extinct because of competition for prey: Early humans hunted the same animals, and there was less prey to go around because a warming climate meant less grass for them to eat. Plant's acrylic gouache illustrations are quite realistic, and each animal is helpfully labeled with its scientific name. Backmatter includes a list of other \"large-toothed hunter[s]\" and resources for finding out more. A good introduction to both saber-toothed cats and paleontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Ancient Animals: Saber-toothed Cat book cover\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/ancient-animals-saber-toothed-cvr.jpg?4369652686946137636\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/ancient-animals-saber-toothed-hires.zip?4369652686946137636\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-400-5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-407-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-739-2 EPUB\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-630-2 PDF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 6-9\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e6 x 8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorrelated to Common Core State Standards:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Language Arts-Literacy.

This alphabetized assembly of bygone species mixes the ancient and contemporary, the bizarre and beautiful. Pallotta's conversational text swings between scientific (\"Fossilization occurs when minerals replace what used to be the bones of an animal\") and silly (\"K is for Kaka. . . If we could go back in time and talk to this bird it would probably say, 'I wish I had a different name'\"); between an activist's gravity and a punster's levity. Masiello's exotically colored oil paintings lend the text need weight and, if readers look closely, with. Although the book's tone and information are well beyond the comprehension skills of letter-learners, the alphabet device serves to marshal the roster of extinct species without rebuffing adventurous preschoolers. Nothing so obvious as a dinosaur is included, but neither are pronunciations of words sure to fluster even the most confident readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScience Books \u0026amp; Films\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book can be enjoyed on several levels. First, it is an extremely attractive book, with beautiful illustrations of extinct animals on each page. The approach is to have one animal for each letter of the alphabet, with one page for each letter. The author actually put in two pages for four of the letters, so there are 30 pages of illustrations. The illustrations are instructive, giving a realistic image of what the creatures looked like. This is interesting to both children and adults. The text hat accompanies the illustrations is also interesting and informative. The approach implies an evolutionary concept. Statements such as \"ninety-nine percent of all living things that ever lived are now extinct\" show that extinction is a natural process. A page devoted to Neanderthals shows that this process applies to human lineage as well. Reasons are given for why an animal becomes extinct, such as disease, loss of habitat, and human pressure. The text is written with a light touch, with both humor and wit. It is not, however, completely without problems. For example, although a pronunciation guide is given for \u003ci\u003ecoelacanth\u003c\/i\u003e, none is given for names denoting any other animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/extinct-alphabet-book-cvr.jpg?11900933317859474402\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/extinct-alphabet-book-hires.zip?11900933317859474402\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaperback\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-0-88106-470-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e10 x 8\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":1715502593,"sku":"64704","price":3.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/extinct-alphabet-book-cover.jpg?v=1586804398"},{"product_id":"can-i-bring-saber-to-new-york-city-ms-mayor","title":"Can I Bring Saber to New York City, Ms. Mayor?","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/charlesbridge.myshopify.com\/pages\/lois-grambling\" title=\"Lois Grambling bio\"\u003eLois G.

Some have even reappeared, alive, after having disappeared in the fossil record. Arnold illustrates this with intriguing examples: coelacanths, horseshoe crabs, dragonflies, tuatara, chambered nautiluses, and Hula painted frogs. Her choices range widely across the animal kingdom and come from around the world. After introducing the concept with the coelacanth, she presents the other five, each with two double-page spreads: then and now. An accompanying narrative describes major features, when and where the species can be found, something about its behavior, and, usually, some natural threats. Further facts appear in the backmatter. The pleasing design offers a clear image of the animal stretching across the fold to a column of text. Inset boxes detail adaptations that have allowed each animal to survive. (In the case of the extremely endangered frog, the question becomes \"Will They Survive?\") Plant's realistic acrylic paintings show his subjects in their natural habitats and, sometimes, as fossils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchool and public libraries whose copies of James Martin's Living Fossils (1997) have worn out will welcome this inviting new look at a popular subject, as will kids with an interest in paleontology and evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDinosaur buffs are a natural audience for this informative overview of six living species that closely resemble their distant ancestors. Plant's (the Ancient Animals series) naturalistic acrylic paintings shift between \"then\" and \"now\" as Arnold (\u003ci\u003eToo Hot? Too Cold?\u003c\/i\u003e) compares the lives of modern-day animals and their prehistoric forebears. Bulleted sidebars present reasons why certain animals have persisted; horseshoe crabs, which have existed for hundreds of millions of years, have hard shells that protect them from predators, can adapt to ocean temperatures and saline levels, and require little food. As readers explore the characteristics that have led to these animals' resilience, it may raise questions about how other creatures—including, perhaps, humans—will survive the test of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe discovery of a living coelacanth, a fish previously known only from 65-million-year-old fossil, leads off this introduction to \"living fossils,\" current animal species that researchers can study to learn about their prehistoric ancestors. Throughout the book, Arnold's writing is concise, descriptive, and informative. Illustrated with large, nicely composed acrylic paintings that show the creatures within their natural habitats, the text presents five additional species: the horseshoe crab, dragonfly, tuatara, chambered nautilus, and Hula painted frog. The first spread in each four-page section features the animal in prehistoric times, while the second discusses the animal as it is today. This now-and-then structure works well to tell the two-part story of each organism. Back matter includes a time line, more detailed information on species, and a note clarifying that though the ancient and modern animals may share the same name and basic appearance, they did evolve and are not identical.

Sidebards point to specific survival adaptations that have allowed the horseshoe crab and dragonfly to survive from their initial evolution to today, for examples.

For example, Woolly could get a library card (and get handwriting help from a volunteer); return the books to the shelves (he knows his numbers and ABCs); even tow the bookmobile if it's stuck in the snow. Potential issues can be easily addressed—for instance, if Woolly's footsteps are too loud, supersize slippers will do the trick. It seems as though the boy has considered everything, but will it persuade Ms. Reeder? The boy's peppy, if somewhat lengthy narrative—directed toward Ms. Reeder and incorporating a refrained, persistent plea (\"Can I? PLEASE?!\")—is a fun read with a humorous concluding twist. Colorful, animated illustrations depict expressive, enthusiastic Woolly in both described and imagined scenarios. Library-familiar kids especially will enjoy the amusing premise and portrayals of recognizable experiences and activities, from storytimes to computer use (mammoth excluded, of course). \u003cem\u003e–Shelle Rosenfeld\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMidwest Book Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder?\" is a humorous mammoth tale about a boy who asks the librarian if he can bring his favorite mammoth friend, Woolly, to the library. Filled with funny images and ideas, as well as wacky colored illustrations, \"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder?\" is a wonderful foray in to the fantastic and preposterous. Not only does it become evident that Woolly would not really make a good library page, there also are hints that Woolly might have hidden talents that can help him to help Ms. Reeder to enforce some good library practices on some less considerate library patrons, including the stingy Mayor Pinchpenny. Stuffed with hyperbole and inflated with in-jokes for library patrons, the total effect of \"Can I Bring Woolly to the Library, Ms. Reeder?\" is ridiculous and hilarious. The author has written several similar titles including \"Can I Bring My Pterodactyl to School, Ms. Johnson?\" and also plans an upcoming title about (perhaps) a saber-toothed tiger?

Woolly is no ordinary pet—he is a woolly mammoth! In this story, a boy presents reasons why his giant friend should be allowed inside the Washington Public Library. While getting a library card, Woolly can practice his writing skills. After picking out a \"mammoth-sized\" pile of books to read, he might need to be reminded of the rules—no bellowing or thumping in the library! Woolly can reach the top of the stacks to reshelf books. Instead of reading to Cuddly Teddy in the reading corner, kids can read to Cuddly Woolly!

Judy Love's illustrations are phenomenal, and the level of detail is incredible.

If only every library had a woolly mammoth. He would learn how to write and apply for a library card, learn not to thump or bellow (it's against the rules), shelve books on the topmost shelf, help check out books, and perhaps provide a soft spot to read for the youngest visitors. At the storybook costume party, he would also make a great \"Little Red Woolly Hood,\" complete with enormous red cape and a basket with checkered napkin. A succession of illustrations captures an old-fashioned small-town library, the enormity of a sensitive cartoon mammoth, and the humor of the ridiculous in each watercolor painting. Text in bold emphasizes the narrator's insistent voice to the final page, as readers are invited to imagine the possibilities of yet another unusual addition to the library staff. For lovers of woolly mammoths and impossibly fantastic \"whoppers,\" and readers in all libraries, this is a welcome purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cvr.jpg?v=1453996199\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/can-i-bring-woolly-hires.zip?15351783294128505589\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-282-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-281-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-022-5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5-8\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 \u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e⁄\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e x 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":14403670023,"sku":"92827","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/can-i-bring-woolly-cover.jpg?v=1586787503"},{"product_id":"feathered-dinosaurs-of-china","title":"Feathered Dinosaurs of China","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten and illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/gregory-wenzel\" title=\"Gregory Wenzel bio\"\u003eGregory Wenzel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStep back in time 124 million years to Liaoning, China, and see what life was like in this ancient ecosystem.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow several recently discovered dinosaur species through a typical day, as they feed, fight, hunt, and try to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific sculptor and illustrator Gregory Wenzel takes readers inside the world of the feathered dinosaurs and sheds light on the link between dinosaurs and birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER RECOMMENDATIONS BELOW - - - - - - - -- - - --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"recommended-books\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like this book, you’ll enjoy these:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/products\/the-dinosaur-alphabet-book\" title=\"The Dinosaur Alphabet Book\"\u003eThe Dinosaur Alphabet Book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - START OF TABS - - - - - - - -- - - --\u003e [TABS]\n\u003ch5\u003eLook Inside\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"cvr-border-gray\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/feathered-dinosaurs-of-china-spread.jpg?v=1584472315\"\u003e\u003c!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --\u003e \u003cscript src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\" data-pin-hover=\"true\" data-pin-height=\"32\" data-pin-shape=\"round\" defer async=\"\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR BIO BELOW - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAuthor \u0026amp; Illustrator\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGregory Wenzel, author\/illustrator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGregory is an illustrator specializing in natural science subjects.

On this journey children will roam the lush landscape with theropods, meat-eating dinosaurs, and their prey; plant eating dinosaurs, and the many insects and fish that make up this prehistoric world. Along the way, readers learn that the Caudipteryx, a small, feathered theropod, eats small stones to help grind food in its stomach. This meat eater has no teeth to help cut up the food it eats. Children will accompany the Sinornithosaurus, a hunting dinosaur, as it tracks and snatches its prey, a small mammal with a long, curvy tail. Under some ferns near a lake, a Microraptor flock feeds on the carcass of a horned dinosaur. At 16 inches long, the Microraptor is the smallest adult dinosaur known. This dinosaur is quite exotic looking, with its broad, feathery yellow legs and green feathered wings. Children will be fascinated with the colorful dinosaurs they meet on the pages of this engaging book. The fossils of these creatures from 124 million years ago are found in the lakebeds of Liaoning, China. The author\/illustrator painstakingly recreates this ancient world with meaningful text and vivid pictures. Because feathered dinosaurs and modern birds share more than 100 characteristics, including hollow bones, feathers, and clawed, three-toed feet, he posits that the birds of today are \"living, breathing, feathered dinosaurs,\" and not only the descendants of dinosaurs, as was previously thought. Readers will experience a sense of wonder throughout the pages of this outstanding book. Much scientific information is provided in an age-appropriate and thought provoking way.

As the text is only a series of hard-to-pronounce Latinate names connected by the barest of narrative threads, and brightly decorated creatures pose stylishly in the paintings, but are evidently able to feed without biting or bloodshed, this isn't the most riveting treatment of the topic. It is, however, the most extensive and up-to-date for younger readers, so despite its deficiencies-no bibliography or Web list, either-it's worth considering as a replacement for older surveys.

He describes not only the setting in which these creatures are moving but also provides excellent acrylic artwork to describe the action and mood of the story. The map at the beginning of the book and the glossary\/index with pronunciation key aid students in processing the vast amount of information contained in the book. Wenzel introduces a variety of dinosaurs from the smaller species to the larger ones and from the benign types to the very aggressive predators. He concludes with the statement, \"Based on the evidence, we can say that birds are not only the living descendants of dinosaurs-birds are dinosaurs. We can think of all modern birds as living, breathing, feathered dinosaurs.\" Whether or not this theory is proven is a question that readers will most likely ask at the conclusion of this book.

The authors explore not only how and where their remains were discovered but also what they tell scientists today about how they lived and why they died out. Were Neanderthals brainy or brutish? Man or beast? When did language begin? The informal style never oversimplifies the engaging science and technology, and the authors raise as many questions as they answer in the detailed chapters, which cover each of the four fossils and the research and debate that surround them. The design is lackluster but readable, with clear type on thick paper and occasional full-color illustrations of sites, skeletons, and scientists at work. Meticulous source notes and bibliographies (including Web sites) at the end of each chapter will stimulate further research. Adults will want this, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors have taken an unusual approach in this look at members of the human family tree. Rather than sketch all of human prehistory, they focus on four particular discoveries, noting the deductions that scientists have made and the debates that these conclusions have sparked. The finds that they detail are Turkana Boy, Lapedo Child, Kennewick Man, and Otzi the Iceman. This approach will be helpful for students as it makes clear the type of work done by paleontologists, archaeologists, and their ilk. There is a lot of painstaking effort and a lot of careful thought. It is particularly interesting to learn what sorts of debates an activity as innocent-seeming as archaeology can engender. Full-color photos, an occasional map or diagram, and an illustrated time line enhance the presentation. As they have focused on only four individuals, readers may miss their personal favorites, such as \"Lucy\" and the recently discovered Homo floresiensis, nicknamed \"hobbits.\" There are also some scientific points that aren't explained as well as they might be. In their discussion of genetics, for example, the authors refer to C, G, A, and T without ever explaining that these are the initials of cytosine, guanine, adenin, and thymine. While there are a few print sources from recent years, many go back 10 years or more. Despite a few quibbles, this is an excellent look at an engaging area of science that should find broad readership and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNSTA Recommends\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany books and television programs give us information about prehistoric humans, their anatomy, their lifestyles, their cultures, and their migrations.

The four specimens examined are Turkana Boy, a 1.6-million-year-old Homo erectus fossil; Lapedo Child, a 24,500-year-old specimen believed by some to be a Neandertal\/modern human hybrid; Kennewick Man, a 9,000-year-old possible ancestor of Native Americans; and Iceman, a 5,300-year-old specimen preserved in Alpine ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Discovery\" section for each hominin is an adventure story, introduced with a creative scenario of how the particular individual died and ended up as a fossil. This leads to an account of the eventual discovery of its remains, its excavation, and the subsequent study and analysis of the specimen. The \"Deductions\" section reveals the thoughts and ideas of scientists as they consider the significance of the remains. Materials from a fossil site are used by scientists from various disciplines to reconstruct the size, structure, health, and age of the body; the environment in which it lived; what it ate; and how it interacted with other species, both human and non-human.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an amazing amount of detail in the conclusions resulting from the scientists' deductions. For example, one scientist claims that the facial structure of Kennewick Man indicated that he \"cried a lot.\" The \"Debates\" section confirms that the story of these hominins is not a closed book. There is much disagreement and controversy on some of the deductions. Often, a new discovery challenges someone's long-held theory, that person is reluctant to accept a new interpretation, and arguments become rather heated. This section is an eye-opener to the process by which scientific information becomes established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book would be appropriate for high school and advanced middle school classes. Several branches of science are introduced, and the scientific process is well-illustrated with numerous examples of how scientists work, interpret evidence, make deductions, debate interpretations, and refine points of view. Many different technologies, form microscopic pollen analysis to DNA analysis, are explained as some of the ways used to unlock the secrets of human past. The book also includes numerous illustrations, many in color, as well as suggestions for further reading, a timeline, a glossary, a bibliography, and identifications of all the scientists mentioned in the stories of the hominins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScience News\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors present the fascinating stories of four of our ancient relatives: Turkana boy (from 1.6 million years ago in Kenya), Lapedo child (24,000 years ago, Portugal), Kennewick man (9000 years ago, Washington state), and Otzi the iceman (5300 years ago, the Alps). They divide each narrative into sections that cover the field discoveries of the hominin remains and their contexts, subsequent deductions from laboratory work, and the debates over interpretations of the findings. At the end of each story, the authors suggest further readings and relevant Web sites and provide source notes for their meticulous accounts. Rubalcaba and Robertshaw clearly present the thought processes that scientists use to reach their conclusions, introduce the scientists as people while illustrating why they are so excited about their research, and accurately describe the scientific data for the reader's evaluation. Exceptionally well written, the book provides an exciting read that makes the joy of being a scientist come alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/every-bone-tells-a-story-cvr.jpg?5522123752979652204\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/every-bone-tells-a-story-hires.zip?5522123752979652204\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-164-6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-58089-165-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 10 and up\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 192\u003cbr\u003e6 x 9\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":16557409479,"sku":"91646","price":8.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":16561576583,"sku":"91653","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/every-bone-tells-a-story-cover.jpg?v=1586792994"},{"product_id":"ancient-animals-plesiosaur","title":"Ancient Animals: Plesiosaur","description":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/sarah-l-thomson\"\u003eSarah L.

Aiming for newly independent readers, Thomson describes in short sentences and simple language how plesiosaurs -- an oder tha included boht long- and short-necked varieties -- hunted, got about with their flippers (\"Maybe it paddled like a duck. Maybe it glided like a sea turtle\"), gave birth to live young, and succumbed at last to an extinction event 65 millions years ago. She provides broader context with comments about general features common to land and marine reptile of both the past and the present. Details both tantalize (the \"smoth stones\" in a plesiosaur's stomach \"may have helped to crush food\") and enlighten through concret example: \"Some plesiosaurs were only a bit longer than a broomstick. Some could've stretched halfway across a basketball court.\" Throughout, Thomson carefully makes sure to emphasize that thre is much we still do not know. Plant juices up the presentation with dramatic (labeled) portraits of thrillingly toothy predators leaving trails of blood in the water as they eat and are eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTempting fare for young dino-devotees.

Although not much is known for certain about these sea creatures, the author makes educated guesses about their everyday life. Plant’s dramatic and compelling illustrations add to the appeal for younger paleontology buffs. There is a balance of gentle scenes (a parent Nichollssaura swimming with its baby) and action-packed ones (a Dolichorhynchops trying to escape the jaws of a Tylosaurus). ­Labels with the scientific names of each creature are also included.

To the oft-repeated chorus of \"Could this be the end of Captain Raptor?\" the doughty dino roars down to a rough landing, weathers attacks from both a humongous Cobrasaurus and a swooping Vulturous, crosses a lambent lake of lava to snatch the beleaguered scientists (meek mammals all), and rejoins his shipmates to rocket off in the nick of time, blasting through a shower of falling asteroids just as all Pyros Prime bursts apart in a titanic explosion. \"Never a dull moment,\" says he, as news of an unspecified catastrophe on distant Seti Beta Six sets the stage for a fresh set of epic exploits. \"Onward to the stars!\" In the squared-off, lavishly detailed scenes, outsized monsters and laser-wielding warriors in riveted body armor battle through murky landscapes and caverns lit from below by glowing lava.

Modeling her narrative after “Here We Go ’Round the Mulberry Bush,” Lendroth (\u003cem\u003eOld Manhattan Has Some Farms\u003c\/em\u003e, 2014, etc.) invites readers to add appropriate actions and gestures as they follow four scientists—modeled by Kolar as doll-like figures of varied gender and racial presentation, with oversized heads to show off their broad smiles—on a dig. “This is the way we clean the bones, clean the bones, clean the bones. \/ This is the way we clean the bones on a warm and sunny morning.” The smiling paleontologists find, then carefully excavate, transport, and reassemble the fossil bones of a T. rex into a museum display. A fleshed-out view of the toothy specimen on a wordless spread brings the enterprise to a suitably dramatic climax, and unobtrusive notes in the lower corners capped by a closing overview add digestible quantities of dino-detail and context. As in Jessie Hartland’s \u003cem\u003eHow the Dinosaur Got to the Museum\u003c\/em\u003e (2011), the combination of patterned text and bright cartoon pictures of scientists at accurately portrayed work offers just the ticket to spark or feed an early interest in matters prehistoric. A common topic ably presented—with a participatory element adding an unusual and brilliant angle.

The main text mimics the children’s song “This Is the Way,” but instead of brushing teeth, readers are digging for bones, sifting through dirt, and cleaning bones. Smaller text on each page offers more details about the work the diverse cast of childlike paleontologists is doing. Bright digital illustrations make the story engaging and accessible for young readers. Additional facts about dinosaurs are included at the end of the book. Suggested movements to act out the story are also mentioned.

He doesn’t stint on the factual load, either. Along with identifying labels, each creature comes with an informative one- or two-sentence comment, such as, for the stegosaurus (“roofed lizard”): “This pint-sized critter grew into a leaf-eater that had a body the size of an elephant but a brain the size of a meatball.” Just for reference, a plate of meatballs is placed temptingly in front of the little stego…and all the rest of the dino tykes likewise come with either food (notably a box of doughnuts being thoroughly mangled by a tiny triceratops) or plastic toys ranging from a rubber ducky delighting a dinky Anatotitan (“giant duck”) to a race car zooming past a trio of downy velociraptors (“swift thief”). A baby T. rex (“tyrant lizard king”) gazing out sweetly, ensconced in a comparatively huge crown, is an especially adorable addition. Following a set of additional descriptive notes at the end, budding dino-fans will find silhouettes of the babies lined up on a comparative size chart—with a four-foot-tall human child towering commandingly over all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAwwwwesomely cute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term “dinosaur” may conjure a towering Tyrannosaurus rex or lumbering stegosaurus, but even the largest creatures had tiny beginnings. What might they have looked like when they were young? Here, readers are invited to marvel at prehistoric youngsters and learn a few facts along the way. Each baby gets its own adorable spread, and they’re all pictured next to a related modern object (a toy car, a rubber duck), adding a sense of scale as well as whimsy. The focus stays primarily on the infant, with the adult only sometimes glimpsed as giant legs in the background. There are plenty of familiar faces—a triceratops with donuts on its horns or a clutch of downy velociraptors—but also in the mix are lesser-known creatures and non-dinosaurs like the winged pteradon and aquatic elasmosaurus. A helpful height chart at the end sees the babies compared to a four-foot-tall human and adds context to brief introductions. This elementary but eminently entertaining approach will have young readers considering prehistoric animals in an entirely different light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-366-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e9 x 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: January 23, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44243985891565,"sku":"43662","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/big-babies-cover_dd7de245-bb23-4bc6-8dc8-698a5014631e.jpg?v=1695132675"},{"product_id":"baby-loves-paleontology","title":"Baby Loves Paleontology","description":"\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/ruth-spiro\"\u003eRuth Spiro\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/irene-chan\"\u003eIrene Chan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBig, brainy science for the littlest listeners.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby loves to dig!

Then, after the dire effects of an asteroid or giant meteor striking the planet, these mighty animals were essentially destroyed. Yet, to this very day, dinosaurs remain a source of wonderment for human beings of all ages. Giant predators and plant eaters such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Ichthyosaurus are popular with dinosaur aficionados both young and old. However, as readers of this colorfully illustrated book will learn, some of the more diminutive dinosaurs were essential to the dinosaur age as well. While reptilian giants did dominate the dinosaur age, there were small iterations if these life forms. For every Tyrannosaurus there were small to tiny sized cousins who took advantage of different aspects of their ecosystems to thrive. For example, while Raptors, Pterosaurs, and Ichthyosaurs were preeminent, smaller predators such as Compsognathus, a chicken-sized land-based predator, thrived in their niche in the environment. It is these smaller scale dinosaurs that are the center of attention in this colorfully illustrated book. Page by page, young dinosaur fans will learn about how the smaller scale reptilians fit into the natural order and fulfilled their purpose for tens of millions of years. While these small sized dinosaurs may not be as familiar as their bigger brothers and sisters, they certainly will appeal to readers with any sort of interest in these ancient creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-330-3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 3–7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e10 x 8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication date: September 17, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlesbridge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45459903316205,"sku":"43303","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/dinosaurs-can-be-small-cover_82875b66-08c0-4efa-9c41-809436178059.jpg?v=1710773102"},{"product_id":"comic-strip-science-adventures-digging-for-dinosaurs","title":"Comic Strip Science Adventures: Digging for Dinosaurs","description":"\u003ch6\u003eComing September 29.
