Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist by Linda Skeers

4.0

Excellent biography filled with interesting facts, but in an easy to read narrative, with the added bonus that it tells the story of an important woman in science. I have rarely seen any picture books that talk about female paleontologists, so this is a welcome addition to the growing trend of important, but often overlooked, women in picture book biographies. The illustrations seems a little muted, which I didn't love and it is an oversimplification to say that she was the first as if there weren't other people who had done important work before her, but aside from those minor points, it was great.
