I am very delighted to have Dr. Adam S. Smith and Jonathan Emmett return as guests on my show to talk about their splendid new book Great Dinosaur Mistakes, which features famous errors in the ways early paleontologists interpreted fossil finds and how the process of science improves those interpretations. The brilliant illustrations of Stieven Van Der Poorten bring this book to life.
These authors have previously collaborated on The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers, also illustrated by Van Der Poorten, as well as The Pleisiosaur’s Neck, which was illustrated by Adam Larkum.
I can’t recommend Great Dinosaur Mistakes enough! Whether you are a grownup who never outgrew your love of dinosaurs, a teacher looking for a great new selection for your classroom shelf, or a parent who wants fun and interesting summer reading for your kid, you can’t go wrong with this book.
N.B. I do not and will never accept payment to feature books on this show. All books that I talk about have been chosen because I think they are high quality.
