SUMMARY: Thrills! Chills! And Math! Three kids travel to the time of the dinosaurs. They are trying to help a baby dinosaur find his mother. But an asteroid is about to hit the Earth. And a scary meat-eater is chasing them! Only math can save them! And you can help the kids figure out what to do! (on back cover)
This is a novel that has math as its basis and then built a story around it -- but it works and the story is good. A dinosaur is loose in the school and three friends track it to the basement where they find a portable potty that has been transformed into a time machine. Join the adventure - do the math.
This book only has 58 pages and lots of illustrations with an engaging story that makes for a quick read

Good one for kids

This kind of cute early reader involves math as an under girding plot device. Unfortunately, I feel some of the words may be too difficult for the people who would read this story on their own. Still would make a fun read aloud.

In this book the students end up in a time machine that takes them back to the dinosaur ages. At first it seems cool until they almost get stuck there! The kids have to work together and use their math and science skills in order to get them back to Einstein Elementary before they become a dinosaur's dinner!
Rating: 3 Stars
I thought this was a good book. It wasn't the most entertaining book but it was interesting to see how the author had the students using their knowledge of math and science to get themselves out of trouble. I think that makes this a very good book to use with children because there are always kids that ask why they really need to know the things you are teaching so seeing kids apply math and science concepts in 'real life' would be a good example of why learning things like that would be important.
