As most of us know, dinosaurs are prehistoric animals. Some people may want their children to learn more about dinosaurs from a young age, but may not feel that taking them into a museum isn't appropriate because they might get impatient and cry or they might even be scared of the dinosaur bones that are on display at the museum if they are really big. A parent can take the time to sit down with their child and a coloring book and explain to the child in detail what each dinosaur is and how long ago they walked the earth.
