THE AGE OF DINOSAURS
Ages 7–9
The Age of the Dinosaurs is written for children who are naturally curious about the world and for parents who want that curiosity guided with clarity, accuracy, and structure.
Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, and for children, numbers like “200 million years” mean very little on their own. This book tackles that challenge directly by helping kids visualize deep time. Instead of overwhelming them with large numbers, it uses relatable comparisons and timelines to show where dinosaurs fit into Earth’s long history and how brief human time really is by comparison. Children don’t just hear when dinosaurs lived; they understand it.
Scientific language can easily become a barrier at this age. In this book, complex terms such as era, period, extinction, fossil, and evolution are introduced gradually and explained in an easy-to-understand language. New ideas build on previous ones, allowing children to follow the story of life on Earth without feeling lost or rushed.
The book frequently pauses to ask open-ended questions that invite children to think, imagine, and reason. These moments encourage kids to go beyond reading and actively process what they’ve learned, connecting dinosaur life to modern animals, environmental change, and survival. The goal is not memorization, but understanding.
At the end of the book, a hands-on puzzle section gives children the chance to revisit key ideas from the chapters. By sorting, matching, and recalling information, kids reinforce what they’ve learned and gain confidence in their knowledge. Learning becomes something they do, not just something they read.
To support growing readers, the book includes a clear, child-friendly glossary that explains new words in simple terms. Children can quickly look up unfamiliar vocabulary without interrupting their reading, helping them stay engaged and independent.
Learning continues beyond the book through a companion website designed to support and reinforce understanding. The website includes interactive activities such as fill-in-the-blank exercises, ordering events in time, vocabulary matching, and word-search games. These activities help children strengthen comprehension, practice new terms, and revisit ideas in different ways.
The Age of the Dinosaurs does more than teach dinosaur facts. It helps children develop:
-
A real sense of time and change
-
Comfort with scientific ideas and vocabulary
-
Stronger reading and reasoning skills
-
An early interest in paleontology, science, and exploration
This book is ideal for parents who want dinosaur content that is thoughtful, structured, and genuinely educational; a book that respects children’s intelligence while making one of Earth’s biggest stories understandable and exciting.
