Bone Poems  by Jeff Moss     1997

This is a great book of poems that deal with dinosaurs and anthropology.  It is highly entertaining and children who enjoy dinosaurs and dinosaur names will think this book of poetry is great.  It has fun and creative illustrations to go with the poems, along with fun rhymes and goofy names.  This would be great for any age children, as long as it was being read to them because some of the words are extremely long and difficult, if not reading orally then based on language and jargon the poems are for older children, or young adults simply because of the long difficult words. The illustrations are great for any age, and they add to the fun aspect of these poems.  It would be great to use in science when discussing dinosaurs or even in history when discussing prehistoric times.
