K-3Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Lucia Washburn.
The narrative starts with accessible descriptions of how dinosaur footprints were formed, pulling readers in with sensory language and comparisons to walking on a beach themselves. The pastel-colored illustrations of peaceful-looking dinosaurs provide excellent details of both the dinosaurs and their tracks. The final pages feature a classic fossil-modeling activity that will help children understand the process.
