Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist by Linda Skeers
4.0
Mary Anning discovered fossils before most people thought to study them. She lives along the Jurassic Coast, where many fossils have since been found. At a very young age she made discoveries that the men of science had not discovered yet. She found fossilized poop. She discovered a flying reptile skeleton.
Yet, despite all her discoveries, she couldn't get into the science world becasue she was just a woman. The men didn't mind taking what she gave them, but didn't allow her to go to their gatherings.
So, she did what she could, and sold fossils from her store. She is now known to have discovered five major species.
Very good, easy to read picture book, that gives kids an idea of her amazing life.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
