6. I chose to do this posting to pat on the back an
eight year old named Art who has a terrific blog.
If you like dinosaurs, this is the blog to check out.
In today's blog update I have included a few
examples of his postings just to wet your
appetite. I have also paraphrased some of the
information researched and written by Art.
Given the quality of the blog produced by
someone so young, I think that Art has an
extremely bright future. If you want to learn
more about Life Before Dinosaurs please check
out Art's blog at
