Lädt ... The Skull in the Rock (2012)von Marc Aronson
![]() Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() Summary: Definitely targeted to an older reading audience than I anticipated, this is a book about a dad who uses Google Earth to find a fossil sites to dig around in with his son and his little boy helps his discover lots of important skeletons and fossils. I liked the father son bonding aspect! Personal commentary / reflection: Although it has an engaging and cool cover that will appeal to young kids, this is best left to upper grade school level readers I would bet. I loved the illustrations, great and cool pictures and it is from the National Geographic series so it has cool fun facts sprinkled throughout!! I found this one to be a little textbookish. I try to read it to my younger son and he quickly lost attention. Definitely for an older child, 3rd/4th grade or older. I like the photography and find the story compelling. A scientist used Google Earth (something within all of our reach, kids could appreciate that) to discover no sites to look for fossils. HIs 9 year old son did just that while out exploring the the areas with his father, and it ended up being a very important archeological find. This book would be useful for a science class and also to inspire kids to use what they have and know that they are just as capable of making amazing discoveries as anyone else, with a little work. This nonfiction book captures the discovery of a 9 year old boy. Through the use of Google Earth Professor Lee Berger discovers some new caves and places to look for fossils. On an exploration of these sites in South Africa, Matthew Berger uncovers a fossil that leads to further findings and discoveries. Great book for the child interested in Paleontology, fossils, bones, digging and adventure. Lots of wonderful full color pictures as well as black and white photos and drawing. This would be an excellent book to explore different areas of science with children. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
