In A T. Rex Named Sue, young readers will follow the adventures of paleontologist Sue Hendrickson as she unearths a startling discovery-the nearly complete fossil remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur in the Badlands of South Dakota.

Full-color photographs, a map, an illustrated dinosaur timeline, and exciting narrative text will inspire the budding fossil hunter in every child.
