Purchase options and add-ons

Join Mr. Tiffin and his students on a trip to a natural history museum and learn all about dinosaurs and the scientists who discovered them!

Mr. Tiffin and his students are back in another picture book, and this time the focus is on dinosaur-loving Kimmy. During a field trip to the natural history museum, Kimmy is thrilled to share what she knows about the
Stegosaurus and the Archaeopteryx and even the ginormous Titanosaurus. That changes when one of her classmates questions whether girls can be paleontologists. Kimmy starts to feel shy. What if they can't? What if no one wants to hear what she has to say? It will take some help from Mr. Tiffin--and from a famous scientist--for Kimmy to find her voice again.

Join Mr. Tiffin's class as they learn about dinosaurs big and small, feathered and scaly, winged and ocean-dwelling. And root for Kimmy, the dinosaur expert . . . who might just learn something about herself.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A pivotal moment in a child's life, handled with grace and sensitivity rather than conflict or ineffective lecturing."—Kirkus, starred review

"A beautifully crafted picture book."—
Booklist, starred review

"This story is illustrated with great care and attention to detail from page one, and the text and artwork work together in harmony to bring home powerful messages about gender equality, evolving to improve, and being careful with the feelings of others."—

    Got this for my favorite 7 year old -- she loves dinosaurs. The story has a definite feminist message and is delightfully told and illustrated.

    A new favorite. We love this series! And girls can be paleontologists, too!

    I Loved this STEM picture book - the message was great. I loved the information about dinosaurs, the teacher, and how Kimmy gained confidence. I really liked the illustrations too.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2018
    I first heard about this book while reading through a fb thread about helping our kids understand equality among genders. What a great message and experience this author has to share with our kids!
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018
    4.5 stars. I loved this book about dinosaurs and a girl who loves everything about them. One aspect of the story is whether girls can be scientists/paleontologists (and the answer is a resounding YES, no matter what one of the kids in the book says). Loved the message and the care the teacher shows to his student! I love the whole Mr. Tiffin's Classroom series.

    I bought this book for my 4-year-old boy who just likes all the dinosaur books. He didn't have any fixed opinions about gender difference - and this book just introduced the gender idea new to him... my mistake. After reading this book, he kept asking me if he can be a scientist too, and also joking that only Jake and himself can be scientists.. (Jake is the boy who teases the girl that she cannot be a scientist as a girl)

    Perfect if you have a dinosaur loving girl who is sometimes afraid to share her knowledge. This book does a great job of showing that girls can be scientists to and that you should never let anyone dismiss your knowledge and what you have to offer.
