This beautiful Spanish-language book, translated from the hugely popular Little People, BIG DREAMS series, can be enjoyed by fluent Spanish speakers and those learning the language, whether at home or in the classroom.

En este libro de la serie BIG DREAMS, aclamada por la crítica y superventas de millones de copias, Little People, descubra la vida de Mary Anning, la madre de la paleontología y audaz cazadora de fósiles.

Cuando Mary era pequeña, su familia era muy pobre. Solía ​​ayudar a su padre a buscar conchas y huesos en lo alto de peligrosos acantilados. Después de recibir un libro como regalo de un amable benefactor, Mary aprendió todo sobre los fósiles. Continuó buscándolos e hizo el sorprendente descubrimiento de un esqueleto completo de un ictiosaurio. Lamentablemente, no se le permitió estudiar junto con todos los demás hombres, pero siguió haciendo sus propios descubrimientos, ¡incluida la caca de dinosaurio! – y asesorando a la Sociedad Geológica cuando necesitaban ayuda. Tomó toda una vida recibir el reconocimiento, pero todos la recordamos ahora como la madre de la paleontología. Este libro rugiente presenta ilustraciones elegantes y extravagantes y datos adicionales en la parte posterior, incluida una línea de tiempo biográfica con fotos históricas y un perfil detallado de la vida del paleontólogo.

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Mary Anning, the mother of paleontology, and daring fossil hunter.

When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs. After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur. Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men, but she carried on making her own discoveries—including dinosaur poo!—and advising the Geological Society when they needed help. It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the paleontologist's life.
