DINOSAUR LADY: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist Read Aloud by Mrs. K

Mary Anning loved scouring the beach near her home in England for shells and fossils. She fearlessly climbed over crumbling cliffs and rocky peaks, searching for new specimens. One day, something caught Mary’s eye. Bones. Dinosaur Bones. Mary’s discoveries rocked the world of science and helped create a brand-new field of study: Paleontology. But many people believed women couldn’t be scientists, so Mary wasn’t given the credit she deserved. Nevertheless, Mary kept looking and learning more, making discoveries that reshaped scientific beliefs about the natural world. Let’s experience the magic of reading, as I read to you “Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist”, written by Linda Skeers and illustrated by Marta Álvarez Miguéns and find out a little more about Mary and the dinosaur fossils she found. The author, Linda Skeers, also includes interesting dinosaur facts and a timeline at the end of the book. Be sure to check it out at your local library or go to a books
