Book cover for Digging for Bird Dinosaurs

You’ve probably read about Cathy Forster the fossil finder in this month’s Ranger Rick. Here’s a cool book about her and her findings. Dr. Forster is a paleontologist (PAY-lee-un-TOL-uh-jist)—a person who studies plant and animal life from long, long ago. Come along with her as she digs for fossils in one of the strangest places on Earth, the island of Madagascar.
