"The Fossil Hunter tells the story of Mary Anning, the 19th century palaeontologist whose discoveries in the cliffs of Lyme Regis transformed scientists' understanding of the world. Via atmospheric watercolour illustrations, the book skilfully tells Mary's personal story and details her discoveries and their scientific impact. The Fossil Hunter also tells a wider story about the history of the world and Mary Anning's role in challenging 19th century society"
So delighted to hear that #nonfiction #kidsbook enthusiasm has spread to the #KlausFluggePrize this year! Congratulations to Kate Winter www.readingzone.com/news/mary-an...
