Grade 5-7?Various kinds of rock and its formations are the central topics of this slim volume. Explanations cover intrusive and extrusive igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock. The discussion of each type, although brief, is presented in scientific terminology and contains enough substance to be useful for reports. Sharp, full-color photographs accompany the text. Although not as profusely illustrated as Steve Parker's Rocks and Minerals (DK, 1993), Kittinger's title presents more information. The glossary does not include pronunciations; the brief list for further reading includes Internet sites.?Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH
