The Dinosaur Expert

The Dinosaur Expert 

Author: Margaret McNamara

This book follows the story of Mr. Tiffin’s class as they travel to museums to view dinosaurs. They travel through many different kinds of dinosaurs, and Kimmy knows each one. Kimmy loves to learn about dinosaurs, but her classmate doesn’t think that girls are scientists. At the very end of the museum, Kimmy learns that girls can be scientists, especially paleontologist. However, I have mixed feelings about the evolutionary theories this book describes. I’ll be using this book as a read-aloud, but not as a book to enter into the library.
