K-3On My Own Science series.
Illustrated by
John Bindon.
Walker describes Dr. William Hammer's efforts to discover the first Antarctic dinosaur fossils in 1991. The text is choppy but straightforward and easy to read; engaging illustrations ably support the narrative. Details, including the expedition's preparations for the extreme cold and how the fossils were removed from rock, will appeal to young science fans. Reading list, websites. Bib.
