Dig Those DinosaursAudio book that tells of when a scientist digs at a site. Tools they use: toilet paper, toothbrush and shovels.Lots of repetitious words but I can't tell what they are doing on the pages. Fossils including bones and dropping are located at the NY museum.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

The genre of this book is informational, although there is not much information inside this book. The pictures tell the story of a dinosaur whose bones were found, cleaned, and put up in a museum. There are rhyming words in this book, which would make it appropriate for a 1st grade classroom, and there are many facts about dinosaurs and paleontologists in the back of the book.
