Bridger Featured at Popular U.K. Dinosaur Website

[Dad's Note: We recently received a letter from the good folks at Everything Dinosaur, a U.K. based online store offering a wealth of dinosaur related merchandise. The team at Everything Dinosaur also works with museums and actual dig projects. They recently worked on one of Bridger's favorite Discovery Channel shows, Prehistoric Park, which Bridger has mentioned several times on his blog. The team maintains a blog, which features Bridger in its latest article. A few snippets:
On one such visit to the blog sphere, Margaret found a web blog written on behalf of Bridger a young dinosaur fan from the USA. Bridger’s dad tells us that Bridger fell in love with dinosaurs when he was only 1 year old. He first called them "saurs" and he had a collection of 4 or 5 plastic dinosaurs that he carried with him everywhere. We'd always ask him "What are you thinking about?" and he'd respond, "Dinosaurs".

The other day he told his dad; "You know, a lot of kids like things, but then they stop liking that and start liking something else. I will never stop liking dinosaurs. I can't get them out of my mind."

At age 4, he started writing letters to people to tell them about dinosaurs. He'd call all of his family and friends and tell them all about them. His passion for dinosaurs was so touching that Bridger's dad decided to start the blog. He has written almost every night for over a year now. He calls it his "letter to the world”.

At Everything Dinosaur, we are always amazed at how much young people know about dinosaurs, they seem to be able to absorb all the facts and information like a sponge. When we visit schools to do talks and other activities we often get challenged and corrected by young dinosaur enthusiasts. Woe betides us should we actually get something wrong!

We'd like to thank the team at Everything Dinosaur for the kind letter and for reading Bridger's blog. Please visit them at www.EverythingDinosaur.com and see what they have to offer. Also check out the rest of their blog, where you can read all kinds of articles about prehistoric creatures and our quest to understand them better.]
