    Millions of years ago, a small dinosaur slips and scrambles, before sinking into the earth. Her bones lie under the soil, slowly transforming into something wonderful. Then, one day, a miner spies a shimmer of blue and green. The Opal Dinosaur explores the amazing discovery of rare opalised bones. Follow the journey as the bones are found, forgotten and then finally identified as an exciting new dinosaur species. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.

    "Based on fact and true findings, The Opal Dinosaur is an adventure back in time and into the future. Sensitively hued illustrations capture the drama and beauty of the Cretaceous period in Gondwana land in soft shimmering tones." -- Dimity Powell * Kids' Book Review * "This is going to send your little would-be paleontologists into raptures and would easily parlay into some useful learning activities as well as some purely for fun." -- Sue Warren * Just So Stories * "A perfectly balanced, sensitively told account of the discovery of the most complete opalised dinosaur fossils ever found in Australia." -- Mia Macrossan * Story Links *
