My daughter has always been fascinated by dinosaurs. Over the years she has acquired many book on the topic. However, due to her age, most of the books were simply children's stories with dinosaur characters. We are fans of this book because it offers scientific explanations about the habitats for different dinosaurs. Children could also learn interesting facts such as why sizes matter for dinosaurs or why finding dinosaur eggs is important for scientific research. DD is in the second grade and could read this book with very little assistance. She finds the book interesting and enjoys reading it a great deal. As such, I would recommend it to children who love learning about dinosaurs as much as my daughter does.\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\/if-you-were-raised-cvr.jpg?v=1447090673\" 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\/if-you-were-raised-hires.zip?8835958924325928117\" 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: 978-1-62354-015-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-350-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 7-10\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 80\u003cbr\u003e9 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2015-11-22T20:29:00-05:00","created_at":"2015-11-09T12:34:12-05:00","vendor":"Imagine Publishing","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Nonfiction","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Animals \u0026 Dinosaurs"],"price":498,"price_min":498,"price_max":498,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":995,"compare_at_price_min":995,"compare_at_price_max":995,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":8209080513,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"40159","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"If You Were Raised by a Dinosaur - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":498,"weight":354,"compare_at_price":995,"inventory_quantity":45,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"978-1-62354-015-9","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/if-you-were-raised-cover.jpg?v=1586796535"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/if-you-were-raised-cover.jpg?v=1586796535","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"If You Were Raised by a Dinosaur book cover","id":2474259087439,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.9,"height":667,"width":600,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/if-you-were-raised-cover.jpg?v=1586796535"},"aspect_ratio":0.9,"height":667,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/if-you-were-raised-cover.jpg?v=1586796535","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/isabella-brooklyn\" title=\"Isabella Brooklyn bio\"\u003eIsabella Brooklyn\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/haude-levesque-ph-d\" title=\"Haude Levesque bio\"\u003eHaude Levesque, Ph.D.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat would it have been like to be a dinosaur baby long, long ago?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery boy and girl dreams of seeing a dinosaur . . . but what about BEING one?

Maybe a baby with Tyrannosaurus Rex as a mom? Or a gentler giant who preferred munching leaves? With lots of fascinating facts and striking illustrations that recreate a lost world millions of years old, Isabella Brooklyn and Haude Levesque guide young readers into the prehistoric era to find out. Because scientists never had the chance to study a live dinosaur in its natural environment, they can't know for sure what kind of parents dinosaurs were, or exactly how they raised their young. But by following the clues they dig up, and using the latest in medical technology, paleontologists can make educated guesses, and offer an exciting glimpse into what it might have been like to be a dinosaur child. Kids will meet dinosaurs of every type, from theropods and sauropodomorphs with their grasping, asymmetrical fingers to \"good mother\" Maiasaurus and Psittacosaurus babies who had \"nannies\"—adults that raised all the children in the group.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Isabella Brooklyn wrote a book that answers all these questions and more, even when the answers are more fiction than fact. What's great about the theoretical parts of the book is that Brooklyn bases it on science. The problem, as she writes, is that scientists have never been able to observe a dinosaur family so they have to put together ideas using information they know or can theorize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrator Haude Levesque is a PhD scientific researcher. The book jacket says, \"Scientific illustration allows her to combine her two passions: animal behavior and drawing. Her illustrations bring the scientific theories to life with joyful results. \u003cem\u003e–Shari Schmidt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSugar Pop Ribbons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for kids age 7 to 10 years old,\u003cem\u003e If You Were Raised by a Dinosaur\u003c\/em\u003e is a great book for dinosaur lovers. My daughter has always been fascinated by dinosaurs. Over the years she has acquired many book on the topic. However, due to her age, most of the books were simply children's stories with dinosaur characters. We are fans of this book because it offers scientific explanations about the habitats for different dinosaurs. Children could also learn interesting facts such as why sizes matter for dinosaurs or why finding dinosaur eggs is important for scientific research. DD is in the second grade and could read this book with very little assistance. She finds the book interesting and enjoys reading it a great deal. As such, I would recommend it to children who love learning about dinosaurs as much as my daughter does.\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\/if-you-were-raised-cvr.jpg?v=1447090673\" 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\/if-you-were-raised-hires.zip?8835958924325928117\" 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: 978-1-62354-015-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-350-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 7-10\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 80\u003cbr\u003e9 x 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]"}
