5.0 out of 5 stars
How did they fit all those rocks between two covers?,
By A Customer
This review is from: 3D Eyewitness: Rocks & Minerals (Hardcover)
Most of the rock-and-mineral books I see are full of colorful pictures of exotic minerals, underground caves or far-away mountains. This is the first book I've come across that actually takes you to those places. The simple, clever mirror device pops those rocks right into your lap, or brings the mountain up close.The information is accurate and well-written. Full color spreads illustrate the location or object and the photography is breathtaking. This is one you'll want to find space for, on that "oversized" book shelf, to accomodate the height of the book.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Eyewitness: Rocks & Minerals (Hardcover)
Beutiful pictures with detailed captions. It shows igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. It tells which rocks we use in our everyday life. Overall it is pretty good. I like the part were they tell the uses of flint.

This book shows tons of different kinds of rocks. Very great if your child likes rocks or if you want to read up on the subject.
