Description

This book tells the true story of a scientist named Mary Anning. The fossils she found helped invent the science of palaeontology. If you've heard of Ichthyosaurs, Plesiosaurs or Pterosaurs you already know her work but there's so much that's been hidden or forgotten.

About the Author
Deshan Tennekoon is a physically rickety but mentally limber writer from Sri Lanka. His books for Think Equal are taught in schools around the world and lots of 6-year-olds think they're okay. He wrote for The Bloomsbury Encyclopaedia of Asian Design and is still recovering from the shock of once being a Fulbright Visiting Scholar. 'Podi', a middle-grade graphic novel he co-wrote is forthcoming from Oni Press (2022). His short comics have been published by Image Comics, ShortBox, Inkbrick and in the Eisner and Ignatzwinning anthology Elements: Fire (Beyond Press). He believes in reckless napping as a fine tool for managing his sanity. Linki Brand is a South African children's book illustrator. She completed a BA degree in Graphic Design at the North West University, Potchefstroom. Linki has illustrated numerous children's books (including a few cover designs for young adult literature) that were published by LAPA Publishers - a division of Penguin Random House South Africa. In addition to that she illustrated books for Think Equal (United Kingdom) for their global SEE Learning programme (Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning). A mini comic strip has also been published by Image Comics Inc. In 2019 I was the sole Graphic Designer for an exhibition compiled by the University of Huddersfield and Leeds Beckett University. Linki is currently living and working in Bergen, Norway with her husband, Werner, and children Fia, Ben and Lukas.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
