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

Mary Anning loved scouring the beach near her home in England for shells and fossils. She fearlessly climbed over crumbling cliffs and rocky peaks, searching for new specimens. One day, something caught Mary's eye. Bones. Dinosaur bones!

Mary's discoveries rocked the world of science and helped create a brand-new field of study: paleontology. But many people believed women couldn't be scientists, so Mary wasn't given the credit she deserved. Nevertheless, Mary kept looking and learning more, making discoveries that reshaped scientific beliefs about the natural world. Dinosaur Lady will enlighten kids about the discovery of the dinosaurs — and the important contributions of female scientists. It also includes a timeline of Mary Anning's life and lots of fantastic fossil facts!

Description

"Action-filled illustrations and straightforward text allow Anning’s determination to shine through and show how her knowledge as well as the fossils she found were initially dismissed because of the sexism of the time yet nevertheless led to the study of fossils, the invention of paleontology, the understanding that animals could become extinct, and the discovery of dinosaurs.... A sturdy portrayal of Victorian scientist Mary Anning that showcases her accomplishments, intelligence, and perseverance." — Kirkus Reviews
