This book is so simple, yet one of my favorites to read and my two year old loves it. Smart to include trucks hauling the bones! His favorite part! Love the simple and colorful illustrations.

My five year old daughter specifically asked for this book as a Christmas gift after checking it out at the library during the summer; it made a huge impression! The simple text and vibrant illustrations are perfect for young children.
Great information, splendid inspiration

This was my two-year-old's favorite book; for some time he and it were inseparable. Bold, simple illustrations on bright backgrounds make a terrific fist visual introduction to the process dinosaur bones undergo for extraction, study, and display. Thanks to this book, mine was the only toddler in his peer group who could identify a paleontologist and explain what one des. Inspired by the story, to this day one of his favorite games is to "dig" for imaginary dinosaur bones in the sand, "wrap" them, pack them in "crates," load them on the "truck" (his stroller), and transport them to the "museum" (our living room), where they are unloaded, assembled into "skeletons," and carefully studied for the remainder of the day.
Compelling visuals for dino-loving kids

Byron Barton's "Bones, Bones..." has the simple, inevitable story line that my son loves, plus the building up of the dinosaur image from the bones found in an archeological expedition. For any dinosaur kid who is at the developmental stage of building up from the pieces - seeing the bones uncovered, packed, transported and unpacked before assembly into a dino skeleton (T Rex, of course) is a daily delight. It is a simple story, though, so choose for younger readers.
