Nonfiction/ Twin Text Entry #3

This narrative nonfiction book is very informative and very well illustrated about dinosaurs. The author, Catherine Thimmesh, does an incredible job answering the question "How do we know what dinosaurs really looked like?" through her brilliant use of timelines, diagrams, and colorful pictures.

Thimmesh's book about dinosaurs can be easily paired with the first book in the Magic Tree House series, Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne. In this fiction book, Jack and Annie are magically taken to the prehistoric past where they learn all about dinosaurs.

Both of these books are best suited for the intermediate grade levels because of their advanced vocabulary. Because of their common theme of dinosaurs, the dinosaur fan will love both of these books. They will enjoy learning about dinosaurs and how scientists discover more about these mysterious creatures.
