From the first fish to grow legs and walk on land, to our early human ancestors, The Fossil Keeper’s Treasure is rich in tales of prehistory, all brought to life by the fascinating fossils left behind.
Before this book is even opened it is clear it is something special. From the beautiful gold, embossed front cover to the thick cardboard pages, the book itself is as much a treasure as the prehistoric ones it depicts. Highly illustrated pages and a handwriting-style font combine to give the intimate sense of reading a Natural History scrapbook. I particularly enjoyed the embossed fossils on each double-page spread, which give readers the opportunity to reach in and touch the fossils described.
Through these beautiful pages we journey back to prehistoric ages, discovering many different types of fossils and learning how they were formed. Fascinating facts and illustrations bring the creatures that created the fossils to life, telling us when, where and how they lived. Whilst inspiring accounts of the people who first discovered different types of fossils will encourage readers to get outside and find their own amazing pieces of prehistory.
A must read for Natural History and dinosaur enthusiasts. Any child who has ever combed a beach, hopefully searching for a piece of the past, will return to this beautiful book for years to come.

Atwater's passion for paleobiology, and how fossils can help us to understand the ecosystems of ancient history, has translated brilliantly onto social media where her personality shines through, doubtlessly inspiring many young people simply looking for cool stuff about dinosaurs to take a deeper interest in the subject.
