Riassunto

Unearth a prehistoric world with this fascinating first guide to fossils, ideal for helping young children (and parents) to identify some of the most common types found across the United Kingdom. Enjoy learning about nine ancient minibeasts that you can find for yourself: from tentacled ammonites and belemnites, to curiously shaped sea urchins and surprising shell fish! Featuring a foreword by Dr David Waterhouse, an expert palaeontologist (well known for his TV and Radio appearances) and Curator at the University of Cambridge, this pocket-sized beginner's guide is the must have companion for your next adventure. "Fossil hunting is a fun, exciting and free hobby. It helps us to learn about the history of life on Earth and is a great way to begin to study the natural world. It also keeps us fit and healthy by being outdoors. There’s nothing better than finding something that no one has ever seen before. Imagine being the first ever person to hold a fossil shell or sea-sponge that’s hundreds of millions of years old – now that’s really impressive!" - Dr David Waterhouse

Informazioni sull?autore

Born in South West London, Jennifer Watson grew up in Norfolk. From a young age she loved natural history and developed an eye for art and design. She graduated with a First Class degree from Norwich University of the Arts in 2015, where her focus was bringing weird and wonderful creatures to life. When on maternity leave from working for the National Trust, Jennifer took the opportunity to explore her own design work further and founded Dodo and Dinosaur® with co-author and illustrator, Jill Michelle Smith, in 2021. The pair have since received glowing reviews of their books from both palaeontologists and museums. Aimed at primary school children, their vibrant titles bring extraordinary extinct dinosaurs, birds, reptiles and mammals to life for little explorers in a fun and accessible way.
