The true story of the discovery of a new Australian dinosaur with very special bones.

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 opalized 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.
