The one to get to start!

Has had every fossil we have found so my son can identify them easily. Great basic fossil book for the budding paleontologist to have on hand. He has already put post it markers on all the pages of fossils he has found. And logged them in another book with photos so people who come over can identify and read in the book about his finds. (did I mention he is 7) Reading level obviously a bit higher than when could read when he got it, but great photos. Has been very helpful.

My 6 year-old LOVES this book!

This is a fantastic reference book with great pictures and information about lots and lots of fossils. I bought it for my now 6 year-old last Christmas and he carries it around with him constantly -- to school, to his grandparents' house, to daycare... He is well known for teaching the adults all about fossils. My husband has a geology degree so we've taken family vacations that were based on fossil-hunting. This is a great book for all ages!

Great pictures; Useful guide

I bought this book as a gift for my cousin. Paired with few small fossils, it makes a great gift for any youngster. It doesn't feature EVERY fossil out there, but rather offers a vivid example of major items. It shows a picture of each-DK Books are great for pictures, I highly recommend their travel guide series--along with an artist's reproduction of what the animal may have looked like in life, and pertinent info about each. I would buy it again, and in fact, I wish I had ALL the DK Books, because every one I've ever seen was great.

Good Guide

Great picture, easy to understand for a newbie like myself. Small enough to throw in a bag, big enough I feel like I'd be able to identify anything I find.

Fossil book

Fun book, quick information and good clear photographs. Thick, substantial paper. Smallest enough to carry. Not a tome.

Great illustrations

I bought two copies of this book for myself and my brother. We are fossil hunters and wanted a good, handy reference book on hand during our travels. The flex-binding sure is nice and the book is very informative on fossils of the world.

Fossils Book

The Smithsonian Handbooks collection is quite good on this and similar topics. I've had some exposure to items shown in the book and the photos and descriptions here are quite helpful for me, as a beginner to this topic. I'm particularly interested in the ammonites. Great primer to get you interested in the things you've seen already and many of the other types of fossils you haven't.
