Professor Barrister has done it again! With his newest book, The Case of the Colorful Caudipteryx, Professor Barrister again takes Nate and Emily (not to mention your kids!) on a whirlwind adventure to the past. The very, very distant past!
When the Caudipteryx somehow gets into the time machine, Nate, Emily, and the Professor have to track it down- it has ended up in the wrong era, and won’t know what to do! Not to mention the effects that a dinosaur who has time traveled to the wrong time period can have on history- who knows what would happen? Good thing we have a team of science-super-heros to take on the challenge and return the missing dinosaur to it’s correct time 🙂
“When a dinosaur from the Triassic Period accidentally transports itself 150 million years to Cretaceous China, it’s up to Prof. Barrister, Nate and Emily to rescue it. Will Prof. Barrister’s crazy new feather-fossil-color theory be enough to save the time-trapped dino?”
You and your children will have so much fun with this book (and this series, if you have not started it yet!), that you won’t realize how much you are learning about dinosaurs and paleontology. The Professor Barrister Series are some of my favorite books for kids, and the previous three, The Case of the Truncated Troodon, The Case of the Armored Allosaurus, and The Case of the Enormous Eoraptor, are adorable and fun. They follow the same set of characters, and you can get to know them and thier personalities.
I think it is best to read them in order, starting with the first one, (as you would with any series) but you can read them separatly without getting lost.
My daughter is able to read on her own now, and I think these books are great for early readers through about 10 years old- but they are always warmly recieved at the Pre-K as well. The kids love to be read to, and what kid doesn’t love dinosaurs?
You can buy these books just about anywhere- Amazon, for your e-reader, Barnes and Nobel- but if you go to author Stephen Penner‘s website, you can get a signed copy, making it that much more special for your kiddo! These are great books, and if you have read my other reviews (or follow me on Twitter!) you know I love, love, love them- really and truly! If you have not read them yet- I highly recommend them as a mom, a teacher, and as a lover of books 🙂
Stephen Penner’s books have made several top-children’s lists, including Barnes and Nobel’s Children’s list. If you have a dinosaur lover or book lover on your hands, The Professor Barrister series is going to be perfect for them.
You can Follow Professor Barrister on Facebook and author Stephen Penner on Twitter– don’t miss out on new, fun stuff 🙂
Happy Adventuring!
