Sora takes a new sketchbook to the dinosaur museum.

A huge dinosaur skeleton stands in the first room.

Sora decides to draw that dinosaur.

He begins with the head at the top of the page.

The long body does not fit below it.

Sora erases the drawing and sighs.

His sister suggests looking from farther away.

They move back to the marked viewing area.

Sora can now see the head, body, and tail together.

He starts a smaller drawing on a new page.

His pencil point breaks in the middle.

His sister lends him another pencil.

Sora asks a museum worker the dinosaur's name.

He writes the name under the picture.

Next, he adds the legs and long tail.

His sister draws a small fossil beside him.

They show each other their finished pages.

Sora's picture is not exact, but the dinosaur is easy to recognize.

He dates the page before leaving.

Sora plans to draw one new object on each visit.
