What follows is an inside look at how a dinosaur skeleton is dug up and processed.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying the main text are sidebars that pull out keywords and explain them. For example, the first sidebar explains what a gaucho is, the second defines the word paleontologist, the third discusses how dinosaur bones are fossils. Although sidebars are standard in many nonfiction texts, these are particularly well done.<\/p>\n<p>Florence Gigena\u2019s illustrations are also top notch. They give continuity to the look and and expand the story. The best image by far is one of a man lying on the ground next to a femur to show how immense it really is! Another cool feature shows the placement of certain bones inside the skeleton of a transparent dinosaur.\u00a0 If that isn&#8217;t enough, there are many color photographs of the finds and team nestled in the artwork.<\/p>\n<p><em>Titanosaur<\/em> rises above the competition. It will enthrall youngsters already passionate about dinosaurs, but will also grab the attention of anyone interested in science or how scientists work. It is sure to be a super big hit.
