5.0 out of 5 stars
Great pictures; Useful guide,

This review is from: Smithsonian Handbooks: Fossils (Turtleback)
I bought this book as a gift for my cousin. Paired with few small fossils, it makes a great gift for any youngster. It doesn't feature EVERY fossil out there, but rather offers a vivid example of major items. It shows a picture of each-DK Books are great for pictures, I highly recommend their travel guide series--along with an artist's reproduction of what the animal may have looked like in life, and pertinent info about each. I would buy it again, and in fact, I wish I had ALL the DK Books, because every one I've ever seen was great.

Great Information Book,
By Loving K Mom (Decorah, Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smithsonian Handbooks: Fossils (Turtleback)
I gave this book to my 9 year old son for Christmas and he loves it. It is very easy to read and the pictures are extremly interesting and detailed to look at and study. There is a lot of information for him to look through, which means he will be able to read this book over and over again. This book will be a great reference for any upcoming projects or reports he may choose to do for school.

This review is from: Smithsonian Handbooks: Fossils (Turtleback)
Good resource book. I was able to identify and confirm a couple of pieces, seashells and coral, I thought may be fossils.
