Description

Mary Anning was only 12 years old when she excavated the skeleton of an unknown animal. The discovery of the ichthyosaur was the dawn of a new age of science called paleontology, and Anning became one of the leading experts in the study of dinosaurs. Unfortunately, as a woman of the 1800s, Anning received almost no recognition for her contributions, which were instead credited to the male naturalists who had purchased her specimens.

Author Stephanie Bearce brings Anning’s remarkable work to life for young readers with research and projects that allow children to experience hands-on science as Anning did.
