Well written. I know it’s designed for kids but just as suitable for adults as a user friendly introduction. As with all DK books, illustrations excellent and although some text is quite small this did not prove to be an issue.Good overview of main fossil types and their historical context.However, this is just an introduction and I’m sure most people will quickly graduate to something more detailed.
