Review
Jacket cover says ages 6-10, but older kids would like it too. The photos are excellent for identifying different rocks and minerals. The book starts with the structure of the Earth model. Then moves onto more common stones. Two pages of meteorites, lava and obsidian, igneous, sedimentary and conglomerates. How to test for hardness. How to tell the difference between having a bunch of rocks, or a rock collection.
Overall Book Score: good
