Learn fun facts about dinosaurs and the scientists who study them, called paleontologists, with simple hands-on activities for young readers. Did you know that a dinosaur bone is a fossil? Or that the same bones that form your ear form the jaw bones in a tyrannosaurus rex? The activities, designed to engage both the readers’ hands and minds, include fossilizing a sponge, making origami dinosaur tracks, preserving toy bugs in gummy amber, and more. Little leonardo’s fascinating world of paleontology acts as a hybrid of little leonardo’s fascinating world of books and little leonardo’s makerlab books, which are both part of the little leonardo series from Gibbs Smith.
