Summary:
This children's book, is about another story of the Berenstain Bears adventures. In this book its about how a dinosaur bone goes missing in the Bear Museum and now the Berenstain Bears need to help solve the mystery. The bears search the museum high and low to find this missing bone, will they find out who took the bone?

Review:
This book is great about all kids love the Berenstain Bears series. The author takes the readers on a mystery and takes them every step of the way. So many other subjects can be integrated with this children's book. For example, time is mentioned a lot so this could be incorporated with math or even history, all about dinosaurs. Very cute and enjoyable book to read.
The Bear Detectives come to the aid of Dr. Bear at the Bear Museum. With less than an hour to spare, the cubs must find the missing dinosaur bone so that everyone can enjoy the dinosaur exhibit.
Not my favorite but kids always seem to enjoy it.
