1. Chomping Mechanical Dinosaur Costume
Get your rawr on — with a big green mechanical dinosaur costume, you build yourself! This costume crate contains everything you need to craft a spiky T. rex head, engineer a fierce felt jaw that snaps shut with the pull of a string, then add a set of matching dino claws to complete the look. Finish off your dino discovery by learning about hinges, rotary motion, and fossil detective work. Ready to dig in?

2. Barnum's Bones: How Barnum Brown Discovered the Most Famous Dinosaur in the World
You probably know a thing or two about the world’s most famous dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But have you heard about the scientist who discovered this colossal critter? In this dazzlingly illustrated book of dinos, you’ll follow the true story of paleontologist Barnum Brown. His fascination with fossils led to some groundbreaking discoveries, and he uncovered a number of fossil firsts — including the famed and ferocious T. Rex!

Actually, I assume it was great. I accidentally sent it to wrong address and it was not returned. My fault...but I sure hope the person that did keep it enjoyed it as much as my grandson has enjoyed his other boxes.
