A cute book for any dino lover. My little ones enjoyed this book.

If you have a child crazy about dinosaurs this is a great book to add to your collection. It explains on a child's level all about the words and practices use by the scientists who study fossils - the Paleontologists. What is a fossil? What does Extinct mean? What is petrified wood? What happens in the Paleontologist's lab? Then if gives some really fun ideas for trying out these techniques at home: Petrified - Fossilizing a Sponge; Fossil Clones; and Bugs in Gummy Amber are examples. There is a handy glossary at the end as well as a few bios of famous paleontologists. Great addition to a home library. ( )

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

Great intro to fossils for little dinosaur fans with cute illustrations. I loved the suggested activities at the back, the section spotlighting a small but diverse group of famous paleontologists, and the glossary for all the bolded vocabulary words introduced in the text. ( )

This is a great educational book, and perfect for any kid's STEM collection. I loved that it helped define things throughout and highlighted people who contributed to the field. The illustrations are fun and engaging. My five year old was busy asking questions through the entire book. ( )
