Book 1: A Little Bit of Dinosaur

BEFORE: Kids wanted to know everything possible about dinosaurs.

NOW: Kids know that it's scientifically possible to BE part dinosaur.

(The science it there! The Law of Conservation of Mass says that matter isn't created or destroyed, but it may change the form it takes. )

Did you know that you have a little bit of dinosaur in you?And it’s your mother’s fault. She fed you that cheese sandwich, which had a calcium atom that used to be in the bones of a T. rex.

 BOOK 2: A Little Bit of THIS Dinosaur

Did you know that you have a little bit of dinosaur in you?

And it’s your brother’s fault. That egg fight meant there were only two eggs left and one of them had a carbon atom that used to be in the bones of a Spinosaurus.

The carbon cycle, crucial to understanding global warming and environmental issues, has never looked so fun.

Book 3: A Little Bit of THAT Dinosaur

Did you know that you have a little bit of dinosaur in you?

And it’s your cousin’s fault. She dared you to pitch a peanut high in the air and catch it in your mouth. You didn’t know it had a nitrogen atom that used to be in the egg of a Hadrosaurus.

THREE HUMOROUS STORIES

Each story follows an atom - calcium, carbon, or nitrogen -  as it journeys from dry bones to your body – and beyond!
