Title: Danny and the Dinosaur Binding: Hardcover Author: SydHoff Publisher: HarperCollinsPublishers

Joe and his pet dinosaur, Betsy, are ready for a fun-filled day in the snow. But as soon as they go out... Kerplunk! Crash! Bang! Betsy slides down the hill and crashes right through the ice, her big feet samsh the steps of the lions' den, and her sneeze blows the chimney off the bears' house. Poor Betsy! She's too big for her own good -- or is she? Lillian Hoban tells a warm and funny story that's just right for beginning readers.

Dinosaurs: The Textbook is a monument to our present understanding of these wonderful creatures. It is a book that will take the student on a journey through nearly every aspect of dinosaur biology, geology, and the history of their discovery. It is a text that presents facts together with current ideas, notions, and controversies. Dr. Lucas presents dinosaurs as successful, living creatures that were merely different in appearance from animals living today. Dr. Lucas has written a comprehensive book that is easily read and understood by students with little scientific background - a book that teaches students not only how to use scientific methods, but how to synthesize data to create their own ideas. In contrast with many dinosaur books from the past, Dr. Lucas, although indicating his own views, allows students the opportunity to think for themselves.
