Despite being targeted at a younger audience, I feel all children would appreciate these books as it would allow older children to conduct independent research and information retrieval...The text is presented clearly and is easy to read, with clear sub headings allowing the reader to find specific information. The photos used are of high quality and use landscapes from around the world, allowing the children to understand where the rocks could be found. -- The Reading Zone * The Reading Zone * Fossils are the remains of animals and plants that lived thousands or millions of years ago and what makes them especially fascinating is the fact that we may all have the chance to find them. And this book shows where to find them, if we do, how to treat them with care. It is a complex subject, introduced here in a clear way that children will find accessible; the information is basic but plenty for lower KS2 children and it will encourage further research. The photographs are excellent and good text accompanies them; fact are shown in fact boxes that are distinct and easy to use. There is also a useful index. -- Parents in Touch * Parents in Touch *
