Discovering Dinosaurs: Dinosaur Journey with Bonus Puzzles and Games by author Rachel Charms teaches about dinosaurs in an imaginative way as the author writes a tale of how the character Matt journeys back in time to see how the dinosaurs lived. Magically he returns after learning about dinosaurs such as the pterodactyl or sauropod. As magically as Matt visits the dinosaurs he safely returns to the present day.A couple brief critiques of this book:1.  There is a link where you can submit your email address to receive materials such as puzzles or coloring sheets. I found this a bit off-putting as young children should not be able to submit this private information so easily. Perhaps the author could include a statement such as: You might want to ask a trusted adult or parent before submitting your email address to access these materials. That would solve the problem.2.  The other thing I noted was the lack of capitalizing proper names. For example the name sauropod should be written this way:  Sauropod as it is a proper name.Other than my minor quibbles this is a cute, informative book.Recommend with caveats given.Penmouse
