Award-winning author Todd Sturgell returns with another irreverent, hilarious, and informative picture book that explains just how dinosaurs might have ended up in space!
Dinosaur fossils are found all over the world…and even on the moon?!
Dinosaurs lived on this planet millions of years ago. We know about the dinosaurs from the fossils they left behind. But did you know some of those fossils might be on the moon? The dinosaurs in THIS book think that must mean there are Dinosaurs in Space! But is that really what happened?
In this silly science lesson gone wrong, discover what happens when dinosaurs let their imaginations run wild while learning about real scientific theories. These dinos are determined to boldly go where no dinosaur has gone before: space! ---from the publisher

***********
A dinosaur named Austro gives a lesson on dinosaur fossils and the asteroid that wiped them out and blasted pieces and bones into space. Pachy (another dinosaur) keeps interrupting the lesson and adding fun tidbits for young readers to think about. Could there be dinosaurs on the moon? On Mars? Maybe there's dinosaur zombies out there. Austro assures him there are not. The fun banter between the two is full of whimsy and will entertain the reader. Pages follow with more information about various dinosaurs and the asteroid that hit earth.
Fantastic illustrations by Sturgell make this picture book a winner. It will be one of the most frequent check-outs in any library, so savvy librarians will order several copies. With "dinosaur" in the title, many kids will be attracted to this book.
Highly recommended grade 3 and up independent readers. Younger children will love the book, but an adult will have to read it to them.
