Fern, Tracey; Kulikov, Boris (2012) Barnum's Bones: How Barnum Brown Discovered the Most Famous Dinosaur in the World New York: Margaret Ferguson Books
This is the amazing story of the dinosaur hunter, Barnum Brown -- who first discovered Tyrannosaurus Rex bones. The focus here is on Barnum who from a young age was interested in geology, and how he eventually travelled the world finding dinosaur bones. The pictures are exciting (though I wish they showed more about the dinosaurs sometimes). Still, this would be a great book for sparking children's interest in paleontology.
Though older kids might enjoy reading it, it seems best suited for kindergarten through second grade.
