This book is a part of the Berenstain Bears series and follows the Berenstain as they explore a dinosaur museum and a dinosaur dig. Genre: children's picture book and informational. I would say this book can also be informational since readers learn about a dinosaur dig and identifying dinosaurs. I would use this book using the strategy, "Set a Purpose for Reading", because students will learn how to read an informational text, and set the focus and purpose for reading this text as learning about dinosaurs. I would also use this book to ask questions and wonder. While reading to students, I would pause at certain parts of the books and model, "I'm wondering what sort of fossils will they find?" and also have students say their own show more questions and wonderings. show less

During World War II, Stan served as a medical illustrator in an Army hospital and Jan worked as a draftswoman in the Army Corps of Engineers and as an show more aircraft riveter.

They also published artwork in magazines like Colliers and the Saturday Evening Post. The Big Honey Hunt, published in 1962, was their first book for children. This book, which was written for Dr. Seuss's Beginner Books series, was so popular that Dr. Seuss himself, Theodore Geisel, encouraged them to write more stories. His advice launched them on a life-career writing and illustrating the Berenstain Bears books. The Berenstain Bears' New Baby, published in 1974, was the beginning of the First Time Books series. She wrote more than 300 books during her lifetime. The couple received numerous awards including the Children's Choice Award for The Berenstain Bears' New Neighbors in 1995 and the Ludington Award in 1989 for their work in children's literature.
