Companion summary

Have you ever walked into a big, quiet building full of old, amazing things? Museums keep special objects safe so everyone can learn about people from long ago. Some museums hold bones of dinosaurs that lived millions of years before your great-great-grandparents were born. When you finish, try drawing one object you would put in a museum and why it is important.
