Sam Goes on a Dinosaur Dig!

Sam loves his cousin Albert. And Albert has this amazing volunteer job at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. And while Sam finds everything Albert does fascinating, he doesn't quite fit in with all the smart kids. How do they know all that stuff, anyway?

Initially, Sam struggles to pay attention and follow the rules. He just can't understand how everyone is smarter than him. Until he learns that everyone starts out without any answers. Choosing to learn is the overarching lesson in this book. There's also quite a bit of interpersonal dynamics between Sam and adults and Sam with other children.

This book is geared toward any 6-10 year old. It runs just under 6k words. Every chapter includes 3 questions that help your child to think about what they just read. This helps them be a better, more active reader.

It's the goal of every book in the Traveling Sam Series to be a reading comprehension aid disguised as an early chapter adventure book. All of the books in this series are episodic so there is no reason to read them in any particular order.

It's encouraged to allow your child to physically write their answers in the book. This will make this paperback a wonderful keepsake of your child's development and writing style when they first read this book.
