- Reading
- Read together in short stretches, pausing to talk about the difference between what a fossil can show and what scientists may have to infer. Let the child set the pace around the hunting details.
- Themes
- Fossils and scientific investigation: The book connects the discovery of SuperCroc’s fossil with modern science investigating the ancient past. The stated focus is informational: using science to learn about an ancient animal.
- Predation: SuperCroc is described waiting for prey at a river’s edge and killing dinosaurs. Predation is part of the animal’s described behaviour; the book’s broader treatment of it is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- A child who is sensitive to animal predation may want to know this before reading.
