review 1: Grade 4 and up. The Skull in the Rock is fascinating! It provides an remarkable look at how technology is helping with the world of archeology. The reader is able to comprehend how hard work, knowledge of archeological history, and luck can play a part in discovering our ancient human past. Skull includes many photographs that enable the reader to truly understand how “Karabo’s” fossilized remains were uncovered and how scientists analyze bone fragments to date and create a picture of ancient man. While this book is a nominee for many junior book award lists, I found it to be an interesting read for older readers too.
review 2: What a great example of non fiction for children, from the layout, to the graphics, it's all good. But what else do you expect fr... moreom Marc Aronson? Watch the fossil hands change at the onset of each chapter, great attention to detail. I just attended a workshop on Google Earth and was fascinated how Berger used it to find potential fossil deposits in an area thought to be completely studied. Easy to read, great find for the students on the dinosaur shelf. less
