The title says it all. In Make Your Own Dinosaur Out of Chicken Bones,
palaeontologist Chris McGowan gives kids (and interested grown-ups) step-by-step
instructions for assembling an Apatosaurus skeleton using bones scavenged from
three chicken carcasses. Along the way, model-builders will learn plenty about
the anatomy of birds and dinosaurs. Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? And
you could use those turkey bones . . . Published by HarperPerennial, $13,
ISBN 0060952261.
