This book goes back to look at the lifetime of a pterosaur after a girl finds a pterosaur fossil in the ground. The book follows a day in the life of the pterosaur as it eats, finds food for its young, and rests for the night. One day, the pterosaur dies and sinks to the bottom of the sea. The book follows the bones of the pterosaur as it becomes a fossil that the young girl eventually finds with her mother millions of years later. The book ends with a section titled "Fossil Evidence" that provides detail on pterosaurs and the pterosaur in this story specifically, Ornithocheirus.
My personal reaction:
In a simple and rhythmic way, this book provides the reader with a brief overview of the fossilization process. I enjoy the use of rhyme in this book because it adds a dream-like quality to the already otherworldly experience the reader gets as they are taken back to the Mesozoic era.
A couple of uses:
- Read this book aloud to the class before a unit on fossils or dinosaurs.
- Pair with the book "Barnum Brown: Dinosaur Hunter" to provide an idea on how fossilization occurs before digging deeper on the subject.
