Fossils

Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about time, history, or the mysterious bones they find in the backyard. It is the perfect tool for a young explorer who is moving from simple picture books to more detailed information about the natural world. Through high-quality DK imagery and clear text, this book transforms a casual interest in dinosaurs into a deeper understanding of geology and preservation. The book focuses on the scientific process of how things become fossils and what scientists can learn from them. It highlights the curiosity required to look beneath the surface and the patience needed to uncover history. At the 6 to 8 age range, children are developing the cognitive ability to grasp long timelines and abstract concepts like extinction, and this book provides a structured, reassuring way to explore those themes. It is a fantastic choice for building vocabulary and encouraging a scientific mindset through wonder rather than dry facts.
