The Fossil Girl: Mary Anning's Dinosaur Discovery

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | April, 1999 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1468-7 $$21.40
(4) K-3 Set at the beginning of the 1800s, this brief fictionalized biography describes how young Anning, with her brother's help, found a fossilized sea reptile in England. The comic-book format helps convey the excitement of the discovery; unfortunately, the title is misleading--the find wasn't actually a dinosaur. A short note mentions Anning's lifelong achievements as an early paleontologist but, regrettably, gives no sources.
