In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Mary Anning, the mother of paleontology and daring fossil hunter.
When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help
her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs.
After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary
learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made
the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur.
Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men,
but she carried on making her own discoveries - including dinosaur
poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help.
It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her
now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features
stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back,
including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a
detailed profile of the paleontologist's life. Little People, BIG
DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that
explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists
to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible
things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. This

ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple
sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The
hardback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers.
Boxed gift sets allow you to collect a selection of the books by
theme. Paper dolls, learning cards, matching games and other fun
learning tools provide even more ways to make the lives of these
role models accessible to children. Inspire the next generation of
outstanding people who will change the world with Little People,
