This term the children at Booktown Primary School are researching Dinosaurs. How many can you help them find?

Levels:
Satisfactory - 4 books
Well Done - 8 books
Full marks and a gold star - 12 books


How to find a dinosaur:
(1) By the title: The first letter of each title word can be found in the dinosaur name; no word count limit, but all words count.
(2) By the author: The author's first and last initials can be found in the dinosaur's name.
You can mix the two methods.

REMEMBER: All books MUST be from our chosen genres of crime, mystery, thriller and suspense.
