Giggles and I need help please.

I'm on a hunt for dino sites and stuff for Zach to use on his projects he has to do this week (a fact book and diorama) and first I thought I'd look at some kits for him to use on decorating his fact book. Then as I'm looking I remember this really cute dino kit, that doesn't look like real dinos at all which he wants realistic, that I could use to make pages about him making his book and diorama. Totally talking about Misty's. lol I love it but don't normally buy themed kits... now I have an excuse to. lol
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you know of any dino fact sites I could direct Zach to? I would prefer for him to do as much of it as possible, but finding sites that are at his level is proving kid of hard. He reads at a second grade level if that helps any.

Have you thought about just taking him to the library to pick up a few books? The problem with a lot of sites is that the good ones (i.e. Britannica) are probably a bit above his reading level and the others have ads that he could click on and be led elsewhere -- and I'm not comfortable with that.

Here is a link to Britannica. You are able to choose ages 8-11 up at the top.

Enchanted learning has a huge stash of dino stuff. You might be able to get a lot of the info copied down for free- to print you'll need a membership.

I hadn't seen that in my searches! I'll be sitting here with him so him clicking things to off-site shouldn't be a problem.
