Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Bold, full-color photographs serve as the background for both the text and glossary in this attractive introduction. All three kinds of rocks are described in brief sentences and illustrated. Additional information about crystals and erosion is included. Weathering by sand, wind, water, and plants is illustrated by a series of clear photographs. Specialized terms and their definitions appear at the bottom of each page. Occasionally the print is difficult to read when placed on a darker background. Examples of the various ways fossils can form are given as well as examples of how rocks are used. A section on dinosaurs, fossil plants, and fossil fuels is followed by three suggestions of "Things to Make and Do" such as a plaster of paris fossil mold and starting a rock collection. Several sizes of type are used to call attention to changes in topic. Magnifications of crystals, bones, and rock strata are superimposed on the background in circular sections. The total package is simple, bright, and easy to read.-Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH

This review is from: Science Kids: Rocks and Fossils (Paperback)
Don't waste your money, not meant for young minds. No interesting, keep your attention writing or pictures in this book. The kids threw it at me and told me the could learn about fossils if I would tell them about my life. Don't buy this book not even used.

She plans to be a scientist and from the time she could hold a book in her hands, she has wanted books on animals and science. She will love it!

Informative, concise text with helpful illustrations, Sep 12 2009
By Ann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Science Kids: Rocks and Fossils (Paperback)
Both of my grade school age children spent several minutes 'studying' this book. They both seemed to learn from it and have gone back to it again to learn more.
