BOY, WERE WE WRONG ABOUT DINOSAURS

By Kathleen V. Kudlinski
Illustrated by S Schindler

An original and fun new slant on the subject of dinosaurs.

From the ancient Chinese belief that dinosaur bones belonged to dragons, to scientific arguments over whether dinosaur skins were leathery or scaly... Humans have had many theories about these fascinating creatures over the years. Kathleen Kudlinski leads readers on a journey through some of these ideas -- from the sensible to the downright wacky -- and introduces the idea that history is not set in stone.

  • Introduction to the idea of history as changing and evolving.
  • Challenges children to rethink ideas for themselves.
