Biography of Mary Anning who discovered the first dinosaur skeleton and then numerous other fossils.

Interesting, but the author is not a historian and didn't have the necessary understanding of the historical context. Also, she makes a lot of unsubstantiated assumptions about what Mary and others were thinking and feeling.

“She wasn't afraid.“

This book is an amazing true story about a woman who studied sharks and decided to dive into the Ocean to closer study the behavior of Sharks. This book inspires children and young adults that they can be whoever they want to be.

I would recommend this book for all ages and be introduced in all classrooms. This book talks about a true story with Eugenie Clark who studied sharks.

I feel this is a great read for around 2nd grade. I think many students would relate to the main characters special interest: animals. I would include this in my future classroom and integrate it into a science lesson.

An inspiring true story about a lady who is a fearless scientist. I love this representation and would definitely have it in my class.

“She dispelled the myth that sharks must keep moving to stay alive.”
