Fossil Review

My 6yr old grandson loves this book. His father and mother said he takes it outside in the yard and looks for fossils. He has found some snail fossils and one that hasn't been identified as yet.

A great review for "The Fossil Factory"

This is a great book that tells all about fossils

Entertaining and Comprehensive

I'm rarely so impressed by a book that I write a review. This one, however, is special. The authors are able to convey a great deal of difficult to understand information in a way that is not only straightforward and easy to understand, but also fun and humorous! It explains evolutionary concepts as it guides you through fossil-finding techniques. It is sprinkled with simple experiments to deepen understanding of each concept. My five-year-old sat through the first 50 pages, then protested when I had to stop to cook dinner. I'm with him. We were both learning and loving it.
