Dinosaur remains were discovered in Canada more than a century ago. But dinosaurs are expensive to collect, study and exhibit and, at first, research was dominated by more prosperous countries. For decades Canada's dinosaurs were subject to a sort of cultural colonialism, with fossils carried out of the country by foreign researchers. Canadian dinosaurs are only now becoming better known nationally and internationally. In the last two decades, there has been a boom in world interest in dinosaurs, with important new discoveries and interpretations by Canadian palaeontologists working here and abroad. This utterly absorbing book celebrates Canada's contributions to dinosaur lore.

Since Confederation, evidence of some 50 classes of dinosaurs has been gathered in Canada. Many of these fossils came from the single most bountiful dinosaur site in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, which to date has yielded more than 250 skeletons of 36 species of dinosaurs, and has helped to establish Canada as the fourth-richest source of fossils in the world. An utterly absorbing account, Into the Dinosaurs' Graveyard tells the stories of the dinosaur hunters (a variety of mavericks and eccentrics), the important finds they've made in Canada and abroad, and the role they've played in establishing Canada's dinosaur heritage.

Rick and Willow travel along when their parents are hired to make a documentary about Dawson City, Yukon. The long summer days under the midnight sun leave plenty of time for adventure. Their new friend Casey takes Rick and Willow gold panning, and Willow finds a ring that could be from Gold Rush days. Casey`s grandma has an old cabin on her property. It has lots of old papers still stuck in the walls for insulation, but when Rick pulls a piece out he finds a poem written on it. Rick is convinced that " The Bishop Who Ate His Boots" is a lost work by renowned poet Robert Service, and everyone wants to solve the mystery. Readers can explore further aspects of the Gold Rush, the Yukon, and Robert Service with web links, sidebars, and historical notes from two leading children`s authors.
