School Library Connection

This is a simple description of this dinosaur, but perfect for young dinosaur lovers. There is not enough information for reports, but it works well for browsing. The students is supposed to use the index and glossary to and in "non-fiction literacy skills". Recommended—Denise Medwick, McKee Elementary Baldwin Borough Public Library4/20/07
