Isn't it amazing to know that a thirteen-year-old is looking forward to learning about the existence of rhinoceros fossils that were trapped many, many years ago at a watering hole in Nebraska?! \r\n\r\nIn my opinion, supporting reading is one of the best things you can do to encourage young people.
