Dinosaurs

When my 8 year-old son's teacher asked her class to write down things they were interested in, my son wrote down 'dinosaurs'. He's never showed an interest in them before. But, I'd like to get him something to help him learn. A lot of things I've seen are for younger kids. Does anyone out there know of something for a very smart 8 year-old that would help him learn about dinosaurs? Something great as a Christmas present would be outstanding. Thanks for your help.

What can I do next?

If he is interested in dinosaurs, you are in luck. Colorado has mountains full of dinosaur remains. I suggest go up to mother cabrini's shrine on your way notice the fenced in dinosaur foot prints on the side of the road. Dinosaur national park is on the border of colorado and utah. There is 4 corners or mesa verde and excellent hands on anthropological education. If he is truly interested in dinosaurs he may have interests in, geology, anthropology, and history. There is also the natural history museum in denver if that's what they still call it. If you want something cool go to their gift shop to find something that is cool but also educates.

best of luck,
K.

Usborne books are very educational, and often Internet-linked at his age. I would look to see what they have about dinosaurs.
