A Great First Book,

This review is from: Looking at Rocks (My First Field Guides) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not the be all, end all of rock books and rock identification books. This is a great introduction to rocks and rock hounding. It explains the different types of rocks. The pictures are clear and enhance the text and make this book a nice book for first time explorers or young rock hunters.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A good beginning rock book,
By Kay k "grandmom" (atlanta ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Looking at Rocks (My First Field Guides) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an excellent beginning book on the basics of rocks. It describes the different kinds of rocks, tells how they are formed, and gives descriptions of various rocks. The back contains a section for "field notes" where a young collector can keep a record of rocks collected. I read this to my five year old granddaughter and she enjoyed it very much and we both learned a lot. It would be appropriate for an older child also. Good science presently in a clear manner.

Intro to Science,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Looking at Rocks (My First Field Guides) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a birthday present for my 5 year old niece. She's going to need help with reading the words for a while yet, but this book is almost exactly what I wanted. It's a little short, but it IS a children's book.
It explains in some decent depth about how rocks are formed and where they come from. Part of the gift is a bunch of rocks we collected on our last vacation. I'm hoping that this will spark an early interest in science.
