Starred Review ALA Booklist
(Fri Sep 16 00:00:00 CDT 2022)
Starred Review Fossils Uncovered! (6 titles) takes an appealing departure from traditional dinosaur series. In a graphic-novel format with adventurous illustrations and accessible text, each installment highlights a real-life paleontologist at work in the field as they discover a specific dinosaur or animal, pose a question or theory related to dinosaurs, and conduct research that leads to brand-new dino knowledge. Action-packed scenes with dinosaurs on the move allow readers to visualize the research process and dinosaur facts. An Egg Thief? sees Mark Norell unearth both baby-dinosaur and Oviraptor (aka egg thief) fossils and discover that this dinosaur wasn't stealing but protecting its eggs. Each book concludes with a look at three dinosaurs that lived alongside the featured creature and a brief overview of paleontology. A clever combination of high-interest dinosaurs and problem solving.

Back in 1922, Roy Chapman Andrews discovered dinosaur eggs. He also found bones of another dino called Oviraptor that looked like it was stealing those eggs. But was it really? For years, paleontologists thought Oviraptor was an egg thief. That is, until Mark Norrell made a new discovery that changed everything. Follow along on this graphic adventure to find fossils and discover the truth about Oviraptor. Then, take a trip back in time to learn about the creatures that lived alongside Oviraptor and discover even more about paleontology.
