Explore the extraordinary world of fossils; find out how they're formed, where to find them and how to identify them in this information book. Written by paleontology expert Dr. Andrew Ross, in conjunction with the National Museum of Scotland, this book will help children discover all the fascinating details of different species for themselves.

An illustrated archaeological dig of the fossils mentioned in the book on pages 30 and 31 helps children to recap what they've learnt and provides a wealth of speaking and listening opportunities.

White (Band 10) books contain more complex sentences, with unusual vocabulary and a larger number of unfamiliar terms. There is more use of literary and figurative language.
