Book Description
Fossilized dinosaur bones have intrigued us for hundreds of years. They help us understand how dinosaurs died millions of years ago. But a new trend in fossil finds is helping us discover how dinosaurs lived -- fossilized soft tissue: skin, muscle, internal organs, feathers, decorative frills. DINOSAUR MUMMIES explores six dinosaur individuals discovered with soft tissue fossilized along with their bones though interviews with the paleontologists who found them. It takes a fresh look at a long beloved topic -- dinosaurs of earth's prehistoric past.

• Great Book For Young (and Not So Young) Dinosaur Lovers 14 December, 2007
Who knew you could pack so much amazing information into 48 pages? There are lots of mummified dinosaurs in this book, including Ciro (a.k.a. Skippy), Willo, Leonardo, and others. The book also introduces some famous dinosaur hunters: Roy Chapman Andrews, Charles Sternberg, Barnum Brown, Luis Chiappe, Dale Russell, Jack Horner, and many more. Lots of photos and full-color illustrations make this a kid's have-to-have holiday gift, available in both hardcover and paperback (for only $7.95!). ISBN 9781581960341

• Disappointed 25 September, 2003
I bought this book for my son, who is a big dinosaur fan. I have to say we were disappointed that there were so many mistakes in the book. Children's science books should be accurate. My son also said that many of the websites didn't work and the people weren't where the book said they were. Since I went by the professional reviews, I don't think anyone read the book very carefully before recommending it.

• Excellent Dinosaur Book 29 September, 2003
As an elementary school teacher, I've spent years teaching 10-12 year olds about dinosaurs. Milner's Dinosaur Mummies is one of the best books that I've seen for this age group. She's packed in fascinating and current information into a friendly format. The text is written beautifully. It's easy enough for most or these kids to read indepently, while engaging the interest of the most experienced reader. And the pictures!!! The artwork for this book is worth the price alone. This is an excellent resource and should be a part of every dinosaur lover's library!
