- Reading
- Read it together and pause over the places where fossils have been found. Invite the child to explain what a palaeontologist does, then explore any illustrations, definitions or study cards available in the edition.
- Themes
- Discovering the past through science: The book explains how palaeontologists use equipment and care while digging up fossils, and identifies places where fossils have been found. Scientific discovery is presented as a process involving evidence, tools and careful handling.
- Where fossils are found: The book identifies kinds of places where fossils have been found; the detail of how this is developed remains unclear. Fossil locations are presented as part of how palaeontologists learn about the past.
- Worth knowing
- Check the particular edition if interactive definitions, zoom and study cards matter, since these features are identified for one edition only.
