Title: Teacher's Grade: B-
Product review: Whenever a story involves time travel, it's usually helpful to have a modicum of believability. This book almost missed that modicum! In this story Captain Fact and his dog must journey back in time, but it's never really clear why they must do. They go through a series of cliffhanging adventures and keep getting rescued in improbable ways.One problem with this book is that the dinosaur facts aren't facts, they're conjectures. Most of what scientists know about dinosaurs is purely theoretical, and the authors never point this out in the text.My 2nd graders and my children liked this book a lot more than I did, and in the end, that's what matters most.
