(4) 4-6 This book tells about the discovery and unearthing of "Jane," a young tyrannosaur uncovered in Montana. The present-tense writing is choppy and occasionally repetitive, and many of the candid photographs are amateurish. Readers will get a clear sense, however, of the painstaking, often physically uncomfortable process of dinosaur prospecting and the many factors involved in preparing museum exhibits. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
