K-3Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Lucia Washburn.
Acknowledging that scientists know little about prehistoric parental habits, the author focuses on maiasaurs, a dinosaur whose fossils seem to indicate a high degree of maternal care. Though color illustrations of the prehistoric creatures tend to have somewhat anthropomorphized expressions, the text is generally clear and informative. A project at the end of the book tells readers how to make their own fossil egg to excavate.
