What happens to an animal after it dies - and how does it turn into a rock millions of years later?

This engaging nonfiction guide walks young readers through the full story of fossils - from the moment a prehistoric creature takes its last breath to the day a paleontologist brushes it free from stone. With clear explanations and step-by-step science, children will finally understand one of Earth's greatest mysteries.

Inside, your child will discover:

  • What a fossil actually is and how the formation process works, explained in simple steps
  • The different kinds of fossils - bones, footprints, eggs, plants, amber, and more
  • How scientists read rock layers to travel back in time
  • Where in the world fossils are found and why those places are special
  • How researchers figure out how old a fossil is
  • Why most animals never become fossils - and what makes the ones that do so remarkable
  • Real fossil discoveries that changed what we know about prehistoric life
  • How fossils connect to the world around us today
