Description
Mary Anning's Curiosity Discover the remarkable story of Mary Anning, a young woman who changed our understanding of prehistoric creatures. Born in 1799, Mary grew up in Lyme Regis, England, where her father taught her to look for fossils. When her father was injured and unable to work, Mary took on the task of finding fossils full-time to support her family. At just twelve years old, Mary made a discovery that would become one of the most significant finds in the history of fossil hunting: the Ichthyosaurus. This incredible find not only helped her family but also shed new light on prehistoric creatures and our understanding of the Earth's age. Monica Kulling brings this triumphant story to life for young readers, revealing a woman who defied the odds to make a lasting impact on science. This book is part of a collection of resources that explore historical context, scientific facts, and further reading opportunities.
