The Disappearance of Dinosaur Sue(r)

Shelly, a kid in love with dinosaurs, helps solve the mystery of who stole Dinosaur Sue. Along the way you meet PaleoJoe, the dinosaur expert and friend of Shelly, who is called in by the Field Museum of Chicago, to solve this case. You also meet the sometimes bumbling Detective Franks, aka "du conconbre", who nearly derails the investigation from the start. Dinosaur facts and tricks of the paleontologist trade abound. If you or your child likes Nate the Great, you'll find this book an entertaining second step into longer chapter books. There's even a funny little animated dinosaur at the bottom of the pages. Flip the pages and watch him run.
