Mary Anning (21 May 1799 – 9 March 1847) was an English fossil collector, dealer, and palaeontologist who became known around the world for finds she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel at Lyme Regis in the county of Dorset in Southwest England. Her middle names could have been Perseverence and Driven. She became a self taught archaeologist from a poor family and didn't receive the recognition she earned until much later in her life. Excellent book with beautiful illustrations! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group/Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. THANK YOU. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs. After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur. Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men, but she carried on making her own discoveries - including dinosaur poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help. It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the paleontologist's life.

I didn't know about Mary Anning but man, am I glad this book taught me about her! This little girl became a leader in palaeontology! Lots of books were written about her discoveries but didn't include her name, but eventually she would be known as the Mother of Paleontology.
I highly recommend this series! It's a fun way to learn through amazing illustrations and engaging stories.
Four out of five stars.
