What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's entire subject is based on the death of ancient life. This is handled in a completely secular and scientific manner. Death is presented as a biological event from the distant past, stripped of any emotional or personal weight. The focus is on the process of preservation, not the act of dying.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for an inquisitive 6 to 9-year-old who is in their prime dinosaur phase or has a budding interest in collecting rocks and shells. It's for the child who asks "how" and "why" questions and benefits from strong visual aids to understand abstract concepts like geological time.
