Reviews

School Library Journal

“[A] fine, simple introduction to an overlooked scientist.”—School Library Journal

Kirkus Reviews

“Bayarri’s bulbous-nosed cartoon figures and clear, detailed frames deliver a cheery, episodic account of Anning’s experiences and offer a sense of the coastal cliffs where she made her finds. . . . An appealing introduction to an important dinosaur hunter.”—Kirkus Reviews
