Dinosaur Hunter: I Can Read Level 4

Dinosaur Hunter is a historical adventure for developing independent readers, written by Elaine Marie Alphin and illustrated by Don Bolognese. In 1880s Wyoming, Ned Chapman dreams of finding a dinosaur skeleton on his family's ranch. After he discovers old bones and meets people searching for fossils, he enters the competitive world of nineteenth-century bone hunters. The story combines a fictional young protagonist with the methods and rivalries surrounding early fossil collecting. Short chapters and Don Bolognese's illustrations support the I Can Read Level 4 format. This forty-eight-page physical paperback is published by HarperCollins for developing readers who are ready for longer sentences, historical details, and an independently paced story.
