Triceratops
Rob Shone
- Reading
- Read the story first, then explore the fossil and dinosaur sections together. Use the glossary or index to follow questions that arise.
- Themes
- A young dinosaur separated from her herd: The overview introduces a young triceratops separated from her herd and a group able to defend itself against predators. The premise places a vulnerable young dinosaur in danger, but the overview does not show how the story treats her separation or resolves it.
- Dinosaur and fossil information: Alongside the story, the book lists facts about triceratops, a section on fossils, a dinosaur gallery, a glossary and an index. These sections present the book as offering informational material alongside its adventure narrative.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a young dinosaur becoming lost and threatened by predators. If separation or predator danger is a sensitive topic for your reader, you may want to check how these scenes are handled together.
