Review of Dinosaur Lady by Linda Skeers


This is the story of a woman who dared to dig, explore, and discover. This is the story of Dinosaur Lady.

Mary Anning loved scouring the beach near her home in England for shells and fossils. She fearlessly climbed over crumbling cliffs and rocky peaks, searching for new specimens. One day, something caught Mary's eye.

Bones. Dinosaur Bones.

Mary's discoveries rocked the world of science and helped create a brand-new field of study: paleontology. But many people believed women couldn't be scientists, so Mary wasn't given the credit she deserved. Nevertheless, Mary kept looking and learning more, making discoveries that reshaped scientific beliefs about the natural world.

Dinosaur Lady is a beautiful and brilliant picture book that will enlighten children about the discovery of the dinosaurs and the importance of female scientists. It also includes a timeline of Mary Anning's life and lots of fantastic fossil facts!

**My thoughts**
Did you know that the first paleontologist was a woman? I had no idea! But this book tells us the story of Mary Anning of Lyme Regis, England, who loves to be out and about exploring her world. One day, she accidentally stumbled upon a couple of bones and knew there had to be more out there. She patiently waited for Mother Nature to help her out and eventually discovered the first Ichthyosaurus skeleton. And from there, she made many more important discoveries. The book is subtle and yet to the point about how back in Mary's times, women were not allowed to be scientists or professors and how it was difficult at first for people to want to believe her. It also repeatedly emphasizes how she was a determined learner and kept right on studying and discovering, in another subtle, yet clear message to keep on exploring.

After her story is a bunch of fun facts about the history of dinosaur studies and a timeline of Mary's life. The Author's Note gives me my favorite bit of trivia, that the famous tongue twister "She sells seashells on the seashore..." is likely about Mary! I never knew that.

This book fascinated me because it is a bit of history I did not know. I don't know that kids will be as excited about the revelations as I was, but I think they're still going to really enjoy this book. I mean, dinosaurs are fascinating and the true stories are even better!

Thank you to the publisher for fulfilling my review request via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Review of Sleeping Bronty (Once Before Time Book 2) by Christy Webster and Gladys Jose


Sleeping Bronty is going to become queen, but the selfish fairy Rhonda puts it all in jeopardy with an evil wish! From Epic! Originals, Once Before Time is a playful board book series of fairy tales reimagined from a time long ago . . . with dinosaurs!

In this prehistoric retelling of the classic story, Sleeping Bronty discovers her own royal potential thanks to her fairy friends, the prince, and some very spicy chili.


Book Links

**My thoughts**
This is a book for kids who love dinosaurs and who are not into the mushy stuff you usually find in fairy tales. It's a twist on the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty. 

In this tale, a baby brontosaurus named Bronty is born to the king and queen. She has good wishes placed upon her by three good fairies. And of course, there is the evil fairy who shows up and curses Bronty, so that she can fulfill her desire to take over as queen instead.

The good fairies raise Bronty. And when it is time for her to become queen, she is out and about and meets a mysterious male out in the woods. Only instead of falling in love with each other, she samples his five bean chili and falls in love with that.

The curse placed upon Bronty is of course fulfilled, and it is up to the mysterious male from the woods to break the spell. Chili saves the day!

It's not necessarily my favorite retelling of the story, but it is a cute one. And like I said, kids who like dinosaurs and not the mushy kissy stuff in fairy tales are going to enjoy this one. I would suggest making chili together after reading this!

I do like the illustrations. The characters are a lot of fun. And you'll enjoy trying to identify the different dinosaurs within.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me a review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
