Reviews for Fossil by Fossil

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a cute book for dinosaur lovers. The book uses fossils and bones to compare dinosaurs to humans and show what they have in common. The illustrations are cute when they add bones to a child, then show the dinosaur that matches. The book asks questions to get the reader or listener thinking about bones, fossils and what they know about dinosaurs. A good addition to a school, class, public or family library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
