Different Take on Mary Anning,
By Jilly ILLY "Jill" (SI, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fossil Girl: Mary Anning's Dinosaur Discovery (Paperback)
This picture book about Mary Anning is written in large comic book format. It opens when Mary is twelve and her father has already passed away. It lets the reader in on some information that they might not have gotten from other books on the same topic, for example, Mary searched for fossils with her brother Joe and he was the one who originally found the ichthyosaur in the cliff. I had one thing about the book that bothered me and that was an illustration showing Mary lowering a large part of the fossil she was excavating from a tower she was standing on. Even my pre-school aged children thought that this was a bit of a stretch as the piece shown must have been quite heavy. While this book provides interesting details ommitted from other books, it is still my second pick on the the subject of Mary Anning with my first choice being Stone Girl, Bone Girl.
