Description
Little Leonardo's Fascinating World of Paleontology is a companion book to the Little Leonardo Fascinating World of series, focusing on paleontologists and dinosaurs with hands-on activities for young readers.
Discover fun facts about dinosaurs and the scientists who study them, known as paleontologists, through simple hands-on activities. Did you know that a dinosaur bone is a fossil? Or that the same bones that form your ear form the jaw bones in a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
The activities, designed to engage both the readers' hands and minds, include fossilising a sponge, making origami dinosaur tracks, preserving toy bugs in gummy amber, and more.
Little Leonardo’s Fascinating World of Paleontology acts as a hybrid of the Little Leonardo’s Fascinating World of books and Little Leonardo’s MakerLab books, which are both part of the Little Leonardo series from Gibbs Smith.
