¿Y si tuvieras dientes de tiranosaurio? Y otras partes de dinosaurio (What If You Had T. rex Teeth!? And Other Dinosaur Parts) Written by Sandra Markle & illustrated by Howard McWilliam This creative book explores what would happen if people had various dinosaur parts instead of the regular human ones! From a Velociraptor’s sharp, sickle-tipped toes to a T. rex’s giant curved teeth, and from the body armor of an Ankylosaurus to the long neck of a Brachiosaurus, readers can discover what it would be like if they had one of these wild dinosaur parts! Outrageous illustrations accompany photographs and informative text in this terrific introduction to animal traits. Readers will also learn what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, and why they aren’t still around today.

Imagination & Exploration Saraí y la feria alrededor del mundo (Saraí and the Around the World Fair) Written by Saraí González and Monica Brown Saraí’s school is hosting an Around the World Fair, and students are invited to help create a cookbook to accompany the event. Saraí does not take the opportunity lightly and does research about her family’s background before picking the perfect family recipe to share. Meanwhile, at home, Saraí has outgrown her bike, but that issue becomes an opportunity to practice resourcefulness as she learns how to fix up the bike with her grandfather. A highlighted recipe from the “Around the World Cookbook” is included at the end of the book, so students and their families can test out one of Saraí’s family recipes.
