It was interesting because I like fossils and I want to find some. I recommend it to my class because year 3 learn about fossils.

I think it is a very interesting book it is about Mary Anning child hood and how she discover the itchteyasaurs. My favorite part was when she did not give up even when some of the children call her stone girl bone girl.

I liked reading about Mary Anning because she found lots of fossils and sold some but always kept the one she was given by her Dad.

It’s all about a girl who becomes famous as she finds rare fossils. The story teaches us that it doesn’t matter who you are, you can find something you really like and be good at it. I would definitely recommend this book.

I thought Mary Anning was amazing. It caught my interest when my mummy said we were learning about Mary Anning and for that she also said that she got some Mary Anning books from the library for us to borrow for a little while. I think I would tell my friends and family about it because she is so cool.
