In this picture book, Tracker John and his dinosaur friend, D.J., introduce the children to the Institute for Creation Research (in California), where creation scientists study dinosaurs. Tracker John explains that God created the dinosaurs and how the sin of Adam and Eve may have affected them. Next, he tells how pairs of dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark and how the rest died and became the fossils we now see. After show more the flood, he explains that the dinosaurs couldn't survive well on the post-flood earth and therefore became extinct. He speculates that the dragon stories of old are based on real dinosaurs.

This book reminded me of a movie that I saw back in the 1970s on a college campus about searching for Noah's ark. I opened the book, and found out that he has been searching since 1972. So, I think the is probably the same person that made the movie. From 1972 to the publication of this little booklet means that he has been looking for 42 years and the status now looks about the same as what I remember from 4 decades ago.

It was a quick easy read.
