Book Summary |
 |
The Footprint is a story about siblings working together to solve a mystery. When Angie and Jared find a strange footprint dried in the mud, they can't decide what creature could have been there. Their imaginations race as they pore over the many library resources on dinosaurs and birds. They are surprised to find out that their pesky little brother was behind it all along. Illustrations support the text.
