Welcome to Litsy!

Another historical figure I wasn't familiar with! Great for the classroom library, especially for a science classroom.

“Just like long-buried fossils, Mary's achievements have slowly been uncovered and shared with the world. Her daring discoveries helped form paleontology- the branch of geology that uses fossils to study prehistoric life.“

Talks about Mary Anning's life and work. She contributed so much to the field of paleontology and is regarded as a pioneer in paleontology. This book talks about how she was disregarded at the time because she was a woman- she could not even go to university.

“This is the story of a woman who dared to dig, explore, and discover. This is the story of Dinosaur Lady.“

I would love to use this book in my future classroom. This book is so engaging and educational while teaching children to celebrate dinosaurs and remarkable women in history.

This book will create very excellent and fascinating discussions about history when children hear this story. The book is beautifully illustrated and a fun read. Great vocabulary is used and it's very well written for younger children.

“And she did all that with a homemade hammer, a chisel, and a never-ending quest to fearlessly keep exploring - and learning.“

This is a great book to introduce paleontology and dinosaurs with younger classes to get them interested in paleontology.

Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist is a biography about a woman from the 1800s named Mary Anning. Mary lived on the seaside and found fossils to sell to tourists, but eventually found dinosaur bones and was interested in learning more about them, and she kept notes and made plenty great discoveries, but was not taken seriously given the time period and her being a woman.

Another great #truestory of Mary Anning - the first paleontologist. #childrensbook
