WOW! So the plates on the back of Stegosaurus (S) might have been 'dino solar panels'! Great book that will fascinate and inform children. I was always a big fan of S; seems that when a fight breaks out in old movies it is S or Triceratops (T) fighting T-Rex. Books like this are a great way for small children to begin to understand the complexity of life on our planet.

Stegosaurus by A.L. Wegwerth is an amazing, fun, descriptive informational non-fiction book on a specific dinosaur that kids love, the stegosaurus! The target audience fits students in the upper end of the primary level (probably 2nd-3rd). It has several long sentences describing in detail facts about the dinosaur-from what they eats, where they lived, and the fossils they've left behind. The book provides a index, glossary, table of contents, headings, illustrations, and a timeline for the reader.
I paired this text with a book called, "Dinosaurs Before Dark" by Mary Pope Osborne. It is from the Magic Tree House series. This series is perfect for the upper primary level readers. The story is about two characters, Jack and Anna who get swept away in their tree house to the pre-historic times. Their job is to figure out how to get back home, but not before they have a few run-ins with the dinosaurs. I chose to pair this book for the non-fiction so that if children want to know more about one of the dinosaurs Anna and Jack run into they can. They would be able to make connections and see more clearly of what the dinosaur might have looked like. Students might also be able to, after having read the non-fiction guess and see what might help Anna and Jack do when seeing this dinosaur.
