Based on the descriptions from the paleontologists, this book tells the story of a dig that discovered the world's largest dinosaur, the Titanosaur! With simple language, the author condenses complex terms into phrases that children can understand, making this book ideal for upper elementary school and middle school students who will delight in learning about their favorite ancient predators. ( ) In 2016, the American Museum of Natural History added an exciting new exhibit to its dinosaur halls: a Titanosaur, the largest creature to ever walk the earth! This new picture-book, co-written by José Luis Carballido and Diego Pol, two paleontologists working at the MEF Museum in Patagonia (Argentina), details how their team excavated more than 180 Titanosaur bones from a ranch in the region, discovering the largest Titanosaur specimen yet... Having been to see the awe-inspiring Titanosaur at the AMNH shortly after the new exhibit opened, I was quite excited when Titanosaur: Discovering the World's Largest Dinosaur came in to work! This is an outstanding work of picture-book non-fiction, with a main narrative spelling out the story of how the Titanosaur bones were discovered and then excavated, and sidebars giving more details about specific topics embedded in the story, from the importance of teamwork in the field, to the significance of teeth, in determining many things about the dinosaur in question. The artwork, done by Florencia Gigena, is accompanied by photographs from the dig. Engaging and informative, this book introduces young children to the biggest dinosaur of all time (that we currently know about, in any case). My only criticism would be with regard to the lack of any list of further reading ideas, but leaving that aside, this is an excellent non-fiction book for young would-be paleontologists. Addendum: Given that the co-authors and illustrator of this book are Argentine, that this book was a joint publication of the MEF and the AMNH, and that a Spanish-language edition was published simultaneously with this one, I have added this book to my "Argentine children" shelf, even though the edition I read was published here in New York. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Through a combination of photographs and illustrations, this picture book will tell the story of the discovery of this new dinosaur, while weaving in exciting facts about what life was like for this brand new species that doesn't even have an official name yet! Chock-full of back matter like a glossary, a dinosaur time period chart, and a gatefold and/or inside jacket poster of the Titanosaur cast, kids of all ages will devour this book. Additionally, it will be vetted and approved by the specialists at the museum as the ultimate, official Titanosaur book."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
