Our take on the The Berenstain Bears' Dinosaur Dig

A paperback Berenstain Bears picture book from Jan Berenstain, published in 2012, aimed at children roughly 3 to 6. The cubs visit a dinosaur dig and learn about fossils and prehistoric life in the series' familiar, gentle style. It is a short read-aloud for bedtime or early readers, lighter on plot than classic series titles and more of a themed tie-in than a storybook staple. Families who already follow the Bears will find it a comfortable fit; those wanting a meatier dinosaur book may find it thin.
