Boy, Were We Wrong About Dinosaurs! takes readers on an entertaining tour of the history of paleontology — from ancient Chinese scholars who thought dinosaur fossils were dragon bones, to Victorian scientists who built dinosaur models in all the wrong shapes, to modern researchers who discovered that some dinosaurs had feathers and that birds are actually their living descendants. Kathleen V. Kudlinski's accessible, wry text and S. D. Schindler's imaginative illustrations show how scientific understanding is always evolving as new evidence is discovered.
This book is a fantastic choice for students because it introduces the scientific process — including how even experts can be wrong and must revise their thinking — while making the history of dinosaur discovery fun, surprising, and deeply engaging for young science enthusiasts.
