What's A Mysterious Egg About

Publisher Summary

What if you found a dinosaur in your own backyard? Get ready to raise a baby dinosaur in the Dino Files series! When Frank’s grandma finds the fossil of a dinosaur egg, it’s an amazing discovery. Even more amazing? When that egg hatches! Now Frank and his cousin Samantha need to figure out how to take care of a baby dinosaur. They know what he eats. (Lettuce, NOT cookies.) They know he can’t be left alone. (He makes BIG messes.) But do they know how to keep him a secret? This fun chapter book series is perfect for kids who love to laugh out loud while learning about dinosaurs. Back matter includes a glossary of dino terms. Reviews: “T. rex-sized fun! McAnulty combines a pitch-perfect voice, fascinating science, exciting adventure, and laugh-out-loud humor, creating a wildly entertaining page-turner.” –Middle Shelf “A fresh take on a fossilized premise, this will appeal to dino fans and readers with their own nerd badge.” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “There will always be kids fascinated by dinosaurs, and this is just the series for them.” –Booklist
