Dinosaurs - A Dinosaur Ate My Homework

Publisher's Description

Earl P. Sidebottom Jr. has a problem. He is forced to report to his teacher that his homework has been gobbled up by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Mrs. Snodgrass promises she'll have a little talk with the pesky dinosaur if Earl will bring him to school next morning. What ensues is the hilarious tale of the dinosaur's day at school and the answer to the question, "What really happened to the dinosaurs?"

Illustrated with bright bold cartoon-like drawings, this is an appealing story for every child who is fascinated by dinosaurs. Each page contains fun facts on dinosaurs, from what their eggs were like to why they often had strangely shaped hands.

A factual story line written in verse takes the reader on a wild adventure that will get students interested in educational content.
