Sample Alphabet Facts
Here are parts of two alphabet books. Carlos organized his book by finding a dinosaur for each letter. He gave three facts for each dinosaur: the meaning of its name, its size, and its eating habits.
Dinosaur ABC’s
Allosaurus means “different lizard.” This dinosaur was 34 feet long and weighed 4 tons. It was a meat eater.
Brachiosaurus means “arm lizard.” It was 85 feet long, weighed 70 tons, and ate plants.
Cetiosaurus means “whale lizard.” It was 45 feet long, weighed 10 tons, and was a plant eater.
Julie found 26 names of things in outer space—from A to Z. Then she found two facts to share about each thing. (This is the middle part of her alphabet book.)
