Overview
Twelve-year-old Winx Muller is stuck at his great-aunt's house while his parents are away. Poking around a giant dusty closet packed with junk, Winx finds a pair of very old, very stinky socks. Socks that sing promises of time travel. It's the Mesozoic or bust for mega-fauna fan, Winx! But the stinky socks' travel rules are hard to follow. So, along with his sister Marta, Winx digs up tons of paleo facts to help guide his time travel. Each travel theory they test sends Winx crashing around the time-space continuum. He gets covered with pig snot in Colonial America, chased by men who like to blow up things in Victorian England, trapped by an ancient tracker in the Desert Southwest, and sucked under a river in British Colonial India. Will Winx ever have a truly din-ormous encounter? Or is he on the brink of extinction? Filling the gap between Magic Tree House and Jurassic Park, Winx Thinks - Dinosaurs! is for young minds craving adventure tales packed with big ideas. Katie O. Engen loves digging into big ideas. Fueled by faith and laughter, she enjoys playing with words and helping kids think. A fan of small towns who loves travel, Katie avidly pursues family time, sports, the beach, and ice cream. She still needs to pick a favorite dinosaur. For more, visit KatieEngen.com.

Reviews
Fun to read and easy to follow. Strong characterization. An abundance of understanding and such a gentle sense about children's needs and struggles. A child experiencing any kind of struggle would associate with Winx and Marta early in the story and settle in just to have a friend in a book. Great foundation for many other adventures. As a kid in a bookstore, I'd have my parents buy them all just for my summer or independent reading assignments. Richard E., Middle School English Teacher & Department Chair, Montgomery County Public School, Maryland I thought it was wonderful! Definitely something I would read at a younger age. It reminded me of some of my favorite books in elementary school, the Magic Treehouse Series. I'm so glad you reference Diplodocus's whip-like tail-that's actually what I did my senior thesis on!!
