(4) 4-6 Ziggy and the Black Dinosaurs series. Illustrated by Jesse Joshua Watson. The fourth and fifth books about the Black Dinosaurs follow four African American friends--Ziggy, Jerome, Rico, and Rashawn--as they pursue their interest in science, attending Space Camp and caring for an orphaned fawn. Although occasionally over-earnest and preachy, the books successfully weave factual information into the stories. Study guides, including discussion and writing questions, are included. Review covers these Ziggy and the Black Dinosaurs titles: The Backyard Animal Show and The Space Mission Adventure.
