Dinosaur Cove
Rex Stone
- Reading
- If the attack or skeletons feel intense, pause to check how the reader is finding the story. You could discuss what is known about the injured dinosaur before continuing.
- Themes
- Danger and care for an injured animal: Jan and Tim witness an attack that badly injures an Apatosaurus, then follow its tracks to a cave where they find it. The danger and injury are part of the adventure, but the story's judgement of the attack or treatment of the injured dinosaur is not established.
- Worth knowing
- A dinosaur is badly injured in an attack, and the characters find many skeletons in a cave. These perilous and death-related details may be worth previewing with a reader who is sensitive to them.
