Pterodactyl

This book is meant for early readers with its nine pages of text and nine pages of illustrations/photos.The text pages average three sentences per page.

The book states pterodactyls were not dinosaurs, though they were reptiles. After three page turns, the author switches from using the term ‘pterodactyl’ to using ‘flying reptiles’.

When I shared this page with kindergarten and first grade, the students were very enthusiastic about answering two of the three sidebar questions: “Do you know the names of any dinosaurs?” and “Do you know any other animals that live in flocks?”
