Made To Treasure

A beautifully tactile journey through time

Open this treasure-like scrapbook and embark on an incredible journey through Earth's prehistoric ages. With embossed fossils to touch on every spread, this interactive book brings ancient history to life in the most engaging way possible. Feel the ridges of a T. Rex fossil, trace the outline of Lucy, our human ancestor, and discover the remarkable fish that could walk on land - the Tiktaalik Roseae.

From the gold-embossed cover to the thick cardboard pages, this book is crafted to be treasured. Each beautifully illustrated spread combines stunning artwork with fascinating facts about how fossils formed, what they tell us about prehistoric life, and why they're so important to our understanding of the past. The handwriting-style font creates the intimate feeling of reading a natural history journal kept by a passionate scientist.

Written by palaeontologist Amy Atwater and illustrated by Nat Cardozo, this is more than a book - it's a keepsake that transforms readers into fossil detectives, uncovering the stories that ancient creatures left behind.

Suitable for children aged 5 years and up
