FROM THE CRITICS
School Library Journal
Gr 2-4-A brief text, with sometimes no more than two sentences per page, gives basic information about what fossils are, how they were formed, and where readers can hunt for them. Large, sometimes-grainy photos show various kinds of fossils including imprints, mineralization, and creatures embedded in amber. A half-page glossary, a three-book bibliography, and several Web sites are included. Ann O. Squire's Fossils (Children's, 2002) offers more information and superior photographs and is a better choice for this audience.-Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
