Readers follow two enthusiastic rock hounds around the globe as they add to their collection. Along the way they will learn how sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks are formed. From the Egyptian pyramids to Roman roads, from the diamond ring on a finger to the pebbles under your feet, rocks are everywhere! Let's Go Rock Collcting is a very effective book whose sole purpose is to teach kids about the different types of rocks. It has clear diagrams and examples and it explains new terms well. The book covers igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks and has detailed information on the most common examples of each type ad how to identify them. I like the inclusion of the two children. It makes the book more engaging because it's as if these two kids are telling me all this great information so I can start my very own rock collection. no reviews | add a review
