Do you like dinosaurs? If you do, this is the book for you! This book is about Barnum Brown, who searched for dinosaur fossils for a museum. We read the book together as a class. The students who really liked the book are fans of dinosaurs and science. Some who did not enjoy it felt the topic was uninteresting.

Some students in our class really liked this book because they are interested in dinosaurs. The students who didn't really like it are not interested in this topic. We thought Barnum was very brave when he faced a mountain lion and mosquitoes. We were surprised to learn that Barnum discovered a new dinosaur, the T-Rex. He never gave up on his dream of finding a new species of dinosaur.
ReplyDeleteThis book inspired some of us to want to hunt for dinosaur bones and to visit the American Museum of Natural History. We would recommend this book to people who like dinosaurs.

I think Barnums Bones is a good book because Barnum was weird but he liked finding bones and he focused and found the first T. Rex body ever. He went from a weird little boy to a famous archaeologist. But he didn't stop there. He stopped when he was too old to explore and find more bones.He discovered the T. Rex in 1902. I recomend it for ages 9-11.
ReplyDeleteI think Barnum's Bones is a really cool and interesting book. I love dinosaurs and I would like to be a paleontologist. I think the T -Rex is sooooooooooooo cool and so are all of all of the other fossils he found. I think he is a super cool guy.
ReplyDeleteThis book is about Barnum Brown who discovered the first T-Rex. My favorite part was when they put the T-Rex dinosaur bones in the museum. You should read this book if you like science.

ReplyDeleteThis book is very good. It tells the story about how Barnum Brown discovered the most famous dinosaur in the world: the T Rex. Even after Barnum Brown died, the T Rex was still a popular dinosaur.
