Dexter's Adventures
FOSSIL FUELS IN THE CLASSROOM
The ABCs of Fossil Fuels
Join Dexter on exciting adventures! Watch him lead as Dad kayaks through the Royal Gorge, ride with him and Uncle Doney over the Continental Divide, and dance to music on his cell phone. End the day cozy under warm blankets as a snowstorm brews outside. What do all these adventures have in common? Fossil fuels. From the kayak and bike to the cell phone and blankets, none of these would be possible without them.
Discover more adventures while learning the alphabet in Fossil Fuels in the Classroom: The ABCs of Fossil Fuels.
Fossil Fuels in the Classroom
The ABCs of Fossil Fuels
Join us as we teach kids the alphabet in a first-of-its-kind ABC book. Learning to read while having fun, we teach kids the alphabet, share with them the many uses of fossil fuels in the world around us, and engage in a hide-and-seek of prehistoric animals.
FIRST, we take a tour through the classroom identifying items from A to Z made with this natural resource. We learn that every item in the classroom is made with fossil fuels.
NEXT, we accompany Dexter in his adventures, identifying items made with fossil fuels. We learn that adventures would not be possible without fossil fuels.
FINALLY, we challenge the child to find the prehistoric animal hidden on each page. A guide is provided at the end of the book with the location of each animal as we introduce the child to our twenty-six, personalized, prehistoric animals. Each child has their favorite prehistoric animal. Which will be your child’s favorite?

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to create a fun and engaging process where we help children learn how to read by teaching them the alphabet using items in a classroom made with fossil fuels.
We will also educate kids and adults on the everyday use of oil and natural gas, illustrating the wide range of products this industry provides and demonstrating how many things in our lives would be impossible without this incredible, natural resource.
