Learn fun facts about dinosaurs and the scientists who study them, called paleontologists, with simple hands-on activities for young readers. 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 fossilizing 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 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.
