About the Author:
Niles Eldredge is curator of invertebrates at the American Museum of Natural History. Douglas and Gregory Eldredge are his two sons.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6-- Although its focus is dinosaurs, this book also touches on other related scientific fields, including paleontology, evolution, and anthropology. The lively text hops and skips from place to place, intermingling facts and funny tidbits that cover a wide range of topics, from the continental drift to the evolution of man. The dinosaur facts reflect up - to - date information, as do the theories presented on their extinction. The authors are less successful in suggesting activities to learn more about fossils. The Naked Egg, an experiment in which an eggshell is dissolved to see inside a chicken's egg, is interesting, but not particularly relevant. Other activities, such as plaster casting and bird identification, are pretty run-of-the-mill stuff; Booth's The Big Beast Book (Little, 1988) is a far more imaginative resource for dinosaur-related projects. In general, the cartoon drawings work well with the playfulness of the text. The only exceptions are the time line and the maps, which are frustratingly vague. Not a great book to use for research because of the loosely organized format, but its energetic and slightly irreverent style make it an entertaining book for recreational reading. --Cathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Pub . Lib .
