A Really Interesting Children's Book on Rocks 2007-10-29 I thought this was a great book on rocks and minerals. It made things clear to me and helped me understand better what rocks and minerals are. I think it will be very helpful in my class. I highly recommend it.
Informative but not overwhelming 2006-05-11 I bought 4 copies of this book recently for my daughter and the members of her science team (4th & 5th graders). They were learning about rocks and minerals for a local science field day. This book was wonderful! It was very informative without overwhelming the kids (or the parents). I will definitely be checking out some of the other books in the series for family use.
