Girl Dinosaurologist: Buddy Books for 2nd graders

For the very youngest girl dinosaurologists, there is a series of books by BuddyBooks on dinosaurs.

The books are written by various authors, and published by the Abdo Publishing Company. According to their website, Dinosaur Series, the books are written for second graders, or those reading at a second grade level.

The most difficult thing for new readers to comprehend in dealing with dinosaurs is those long names! Each name is spelled out phonetically at the beginning of the book, but parents might need to help their little ones to sound out the names.

Here's a sample of one of the covers:



Allosaurus
Ankylosaurus
Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus as far as I'm concerned!!!)
Archeopteryx
Baryonyx
Brachiosaurus
Camarasaurus
Coelophysis
Compsognathus
Corythosaurus
Deinonychus
Diplodocus
Giganotosaurus
Iguanodon
Oviraptor
Pachycephalosaurus
Spinosaurus
Stegosaurus
Styracosaurus
Triceratops
Troodon
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Velociraptor

Here's a sample of the text:

The Brachiosaurus (BRACK--ee-uh-SAW-rus) was a huge, plant-eating dinosaur. It is one of the biggest animals ever.

The Brachiosaurus was 82 feet (25 m) long. It stood about 50 feet (15 m) tall. That is as tall as three giraffes on top of each other.

The Brachiosaurus weighed about 130,000 pounds (58,967 kg). That is as heavy as 13 elephants.
