Product Details
Overview
5-10 years old
Did you know that you have a little bit of dinosaur in you?
And it's your mother's fault. She fed you that cheese sandwich, which had a calcium atom that used to be in the bones of a T-rex.
This humorous story follows a calcium atom as it journeys from dry bones to your jawbone!
Inspired by U.S. environmentalist Aldo Leopoldo, this story follows a little bit of dinosaur, a calcium atom, as it travels over time from a dinosaur to a child. In his 1949 classic, A Sand County Almanac, Leopoldo beautifully discussed how man and nature are interconnected. This amazing circle of life is illustrated with humor and a touch of empathy.
Sisters Elleen Hutcheson and Darcy Pattison team up to bring Leopoldo's circle of life to kids. Hutcheson is a high school biology teacher; five of Pattison's picture books have been named NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Books. Each is shaking her finger at their mother wondering why she fed them that cheese sandwich.
Starred Kirkus review: "...entertaining tale...A science-centric winner, especially for young dinosaur lovers."
