Dino Poop: And Other Remarkable Remains of the Past de Jane Hammerslough
Dino Poop: And Other Remarkable Remains of the Past is a fact filled book that kids gobble up! Two things that elementary kids love are dinosaurs and poop! This book gives scientific examples of really cool places that we find the ancient remains of dinosaurs like peat bogs, frozen tundra, tar pits and more. All of the facts are well presented in this fun guide. Filled with fascinating facts, questioning quizzes, tantalizing timetables and more.
I agree with some of the other reviews that the writing tends to wander a bit, but I felt she had some really good things to say, and that made up for it. I actually put this down halfway through and didn't pick up for a year. The second half seemed a lot more interesting when I picked it up, but it might have just been me.
A 4 is probably too high of a rating considering the faults, but I'm not going to consider the faults. Instead I'll concentrate on the fact that some of the things she wrote really affected me and helped me see things in a new light, even though this is not a new subject to me. That's worth the price of admission.
OK, let's make it a 3.

More pop psychology than how-to, this book was written in the style of a Glamour Magazine article. Full of cheery anecdotes and unsupported assertions, it was inoffensive and even enjoyable in parts. The very last chapter had some practical tips, but they were truly vague. Actually, the whole book was vague. It would have made a better magazine series, maybe spread over 3 issues.
Somewhat impersonal. The author tells her own anecdotes, at a distance, making for a book-length argument that feels like breathing recycled air.
