10 分钟Okay, our friends, so today we're going to read another story about an inventor,
or maybe I guess she's not really an inventor but a discoverer,
because today's story is about a lady who did something that is pretty impressive.
It's called Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the first paleontologist.
The words are by Linda Skeers and the pictures are by Marta Alvarez-Meguens.
Today's story is read by Mommy and Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.
And jelly?
Is it peanut butter and jelly time?
No, I hate this song.
Oh, never mind.
Let's go.
So buckle up, you guys, because we're going to learn what's going on here.
Mary Anning dodged the high tides and crashing waves to scour the beach near her hometown of Lyme Regis, England.
She filled her basket with curiosities to sell to tourists, like seashells
and fossils with fanciful local names like snake stones, which are ammonites; devil's toenails,
which are belemnites; and angel wings, which is the Petricola philatiformis.
She scrambled over crumbling cliffs and rocky peaks while avoiding life-threatening landslides.
And despite the constant danger, Mary wasn't afraid.
She was determined to uncover the area's long-buried secret.
Mary learned to read and write at Sunday school, but she wanted to learn more.
