Lisa in the UP of MI Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 DD has become very interested in dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals (woolly mammoths, etc.). We did check out some books from the library, but some aren't really age-appropriate (she's 5yo, but advanced for her age). I'm looking for book and activity recommendations to suggest to her. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto2Cs Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series is awesome for that age, and they have a number of titles re: dinosaurs... Rainbow Resource LR&FO Dinosaur package They are very factual, and written for younger kids, without talking down to them, plus each book has at least one activity in it. A lot of libraries have them too. My kids also enjoy the TV show Prehistoric Planet, which is a take-off of Walking With Dinosaurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks, guys! I'll have to see if we get PBS. We just got an antennae and now get about 10 channels. We love the Lets-Read-And-Find-Out-Series but haven't checked out their dinosaur books. That's one of the next places I'm going to look. Any more book recommendations that are at approximately that level? Or activity ideas that your kids enjoyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on starting it in the next week or so. Here's the link. HTH a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
