Earth Before Us series.
When Ronnie flunks her dinosaur quiz, quirky neighbor Miss Lernin, a paleontologist, whisks them back to the late Triassic; other periods are explored from there, with thorough introductions to flora and fauna. There's a lot of information imparted, but the humor and graphic-novel format keep things from getting pedantic. Ronnie aces her re-test, and her budding interest in science paves the way for book two. Glos.
