This book tells all about different types of fossils and how they form. It talks about plant and animal remains becoming fossils. It talks about things being preserved in ice and in amber. It also talks about tracks of animals becoming fossils. It discusses how the earth has changed allowing some water fossils to be found in dry areas and vice versa. It even has ideas for students making their own fossils.

I thought this book was easy to read and had a lot of information. There was a good use of illustrations and real world examples of fossils. The scientific processes and names were used in a way that students would be able to understand them.

This would be a good book to use in a unit on dinosaurs and fossils. It covers all the types of fossils, and I think that students would find it very interesting.

A good introduction to the topic of fossils. I read it to my 3rd graders, then let them investigate some real fossils with magnifying glasses.

Good introduction to fossils for little kids. Target audience would be independent readers.
