Ask James a question!
I love being a character in a book!
It is a lot of fun! I never know what trouble Carole Marsh will get me into!
ALL of them! Each one has taken me a different place.
I learn a lot and get to get dirty!
Anytime Carole Marsh wants to write—sometimes that’s in middle of the night!
I do what she says—most of the time. But sometimes I whisper a better idea in her ear!

We have been friends a long time! They are so cool.
They love dinos like I do. Shovel is smart. Pick is brave.
They help me. And we like to eat and laugh a lot!
Oh, really, they just act scary. They are bullies.
As you might notice, we always figure out how to foil these foes!
I love to go to museums and see humongous dinosaurs!
Red—as long as it’s not blood!
I like ice cream cones and cotton candy!
I think she thinks it keeps me out of trouble to stay so busy all weekend!
I am not so sure she is right about that! What do you think?
Yes! ALL of them!

Ask Shovel!
I love being a book character. I love to read, so I have always tried to imagine myself as a book character!
Oh, I like both of them. They are funny and nice.
Pick is always saying something that makes me laugh.
James sometimes thinks he knows everything, but he depends on me for technical things!
I like velociraptors. They are sort of scary. But they have scales and feathers!
They can move very fast. I’m just careful to stay out of their way!
I love the American Badlands! So many dinosaur fossils have been found there over the years.
Or course, Egypt, was a pretty good big dig gig, too!
A compass. It helps me figure out where we are going, unless we go back in time, then it is not so helpful!

I like an international cuisine. Give me tacos, crepes, pizza, or a good Greek salad and I am happy!
I sure do! I love to read and write. One day, like Carole Marsh, I will write my own book about our adventures!
Mary Anning, a famous fossil hunter who changed the science of prehistoric life!

Ask Pick!
I want to! I like to be helpful. Plus I know a lot about tools and ropes and things.
My backpack is full of stuff that comes in handy! What would James do without me?
Oh, the first time it was sort of scary, but now I am used to it. It’s fun and a handy shortcut to our weekend adventures!
Jack Horner! He is a real paleontologist who found a LOT of dinosaur fossils.
Are you kidding? Of course, I am! I prefer herbivores to carnivores—plant eaters to meat eaters. Why? Because I am meat!
Oh, yeah. We are best buddies. He always looks out for me. I trust him with my nine lives!
You bet! I can’t wait until they are made into movies and I can be a star!
Brown—it hides the dirt, mostly.
I like hamburgers, steak, hot dogs, hamburgers, steak, bacon, uh, I guess I am a carnivore?
Ask Diggy!
Sure; it’s fun. I know how to run—really fast!
I love Dr. Archie Ologist! He takes a lot of naps and lets me curl up with him.
And he always has treats in his pockets!
He is my very best friend. He rescued me as a pup.
And he gives me lots of bones to chew!
Oh, Carole Marsh says she can read my mind!
I know she can because what she writes is what I am thinking!
I like big, ol’ Scotty, the T-Rex, because he told us a bedtime story.
Whichever one comes next!
