Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 7 Up-Join paleontologists and paleobotanists as they excavate the permafrost of Alaska and evaluate the curious fossils they find there. The indication of dinosaurs living in a colder climate sparks numerous hypotheses among the scientists, including the possibility that these creatures could have shared traits with warm-blooded animals. The program explores several active dig sites, shows the techniques of lab work, and brings the Cretaceous Period to life with computer-generated animation sequences. Picture and sound quality are excellent. Students will be fascinated and may be surprised that fossil records can tell scientists so much about prehistoric life.-Ryan Henry, Daviess County Public Library, Owensboro, KY (c) Copyright 2010.
