Author Profile

I found this awesome author by the name of Bernard Most. He is great at making the real-life connection for students. For example, one of his many books is called How Big were the Dinosaurs? He describes the size of the biggest dinosaurs by comparing them to familiar things in a child's world. He compares the size of T-Rex's tooth to a child's toothbrush. He also says that Triceratops was so big, not even his head would fit through their bedroom door. He states that Stegasaurus' plates were as big as school bus crossing signs. Kids would definitely be entertained and gain knowledge because the next time they look at their toothbrush, doorway, or a bus crossing sign, they will imagine how big dinosaurs actually were. In the future, they will activate prior knowledge and be a step ahead because they will have a pretty good idea of the sizes of dinosaurs.
