    Several dinosaur hunters went on an expedition in South America hoping to find fossils of birds from the time of the dinosaurs. What they found instead were hundreds of fossils of dinosaur eggs, some with un-hatched baby dinosaurs inside. This was something that had never been found before! Here is a fascinating look at dinosaur egg fossils and dinosaurs in general, written in accessible language so kids can read it all by themselves.
    Jennifer Dussling is lucky enough to have been surrounded by great children's books her whole life. As a teenager, she started working at a children's-only independent bookstore in Pennsylvania, and after graduating from college, she made her way to New York City, where she took a job as an editorial assistant at a publishing company. Since then, she's written over fifty books for kids, both fiction and nonfiction, licensed and original, including Bugs, Bugs, Bugs; Pink Snow and Other Weird Weather; Giant Squid; Slinky Scaly Snakes; and One Little Flower Girl. Jen lives in Tampa, Florida, and when she's not writing or editing, you can find her in her garden, on a volleyball court, or curled up with a good book.
