Цікава книга, яка розповідає дітям про скамʼянілості. Ми дізнались дуже багато всього нового. Мені сподобалось, що тут багато не тривіальної інформації, даються якісь складніші відомості, але все написано дуже просто, на такому рівні, щоб навіть діти старшого дошкільного віку могли її зрозуміти. Багато фотографій та ілюстрацій. Думаю, що вона буде цікава дітям будь-якого віку, кожен знайде для себе щось цікаве.
