Very comprehensive！ Love the questions included to encourage connections and deeper thinking。 Kids will enjoy poring over this book to study the enormous variety of rocks and all the different objects rocks can become。 It was interesting that sea shells are also included。 I predict this book will be the start of many pocket collections！

While this book claims it's for ages 4-8， my 13-year-old has said it is one of his favorite books ever。 And I think I agree with him。 Jam-packed with amazing color photographs， Rocks， Minerals， and Shells also does a fantastic job teaching about the different kinds of things that make up our earth in a highly engaging fashion。 I now want to visit a mosque in Iran， to see the turquoise there， Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway， to see the basalt columns， and the western Pacific Ocean， to try to While this book claims it's for ages 4-8， my 13-year-old has said it is one of his favorite books ever。 And I think I agree with him。 Jam-packed with amazing color photographs， Rocks， Minerals， and Shells also does a fantastic job teaching about the different kinds of things that make up our earth in a highly engaging fashion。 I now want to visit a mosque in Iran， to see the turquoise there， Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway， to see the basalt columns， and the western Pacific Ocean， to try to find a Chambered Nautilus in the wild。。。。 Read my full review here: http://agoodreid。blogspot。com/2021/08。。。 。。。more

This new addition to the popular Little Kids First Big Book series focuses on rocks， minerals， and shells。 What little kid doesn’t love rocks？ I think each one of our kids loved picking up rocks whether we were in a park or in our own landscaping。 They also loved collecting shells on our visits to the various beaches。 This book teaches young readers about the wide variety of rocks， minerals， fossils， gemstones， and shells。Some of the rocks and shells our family has collectedKids will learn that This new addition to the popular Little Kids First Big Book series focuses on rocks， minerals， and shells。 What little kid doesn’t love rocks？ I think each one of our kids loved picking up rocks whether we were in a park or in our own landscaping。 They also loved collecting shells on our visits to the various beaches。 This book teaches young readers about the wide variety of rocks， minerals， fossils， gemstones， and shells。Some of the rocks and shells our family has collectedKids will learn that many of our rocks come from erupting volcanoes。 They will learn the type of rock it is， how hard or soft it is， where it can be found， and its uses today。 Obviously， the pages are full of photographs， but there are also fact bubbles， information boxes， and interactive questions to get kids thinking outside the box。 At the end of each section， there is a fun quiz to see what they remembered learning。 The end of the book includes tips and activities parents can do with their kids to learn even more。Fossils are one of the rocks featured in the book。 Since I grew up with a river in our backyard， we have found several fossils。 We even found a nearly perfect fish-head fossil that I thought was pretty cool as a kid。Sulfur is another featured mineral。 We saw lots of sulfur， and smelled it， on our visit to Yellowstone。Marble is what was used to make the Taj Mahal。 What I didn’t know is that it took 21 years and 20，000 workers to build it。The state rock of Iowa is a geode。 A geode is a rock with the mineral quartz on the inside。 They are very pretty once you break them open。 Otherwise， they just look like a regular rock。With just a few weeks of summer left， I encourage you to take your kids outside to a beach， lake， riverbank， or mountainous area and look for all different kinds of rocks， minerals， or shells。 Then use the activities in the book to help your kids learn about them。 Plus you can start your own collection as we have。 。。。more

A new "Little Kids First Big Book" loaded with fascinating information。 This time it's all about the "hard things on Earth" - Rocks， Minerals， and Shells。 There is so much to explore in this book。 Children can see the mundane as well as the exotic types of minerals and rocks along with the beauty of shells along the seashore。A good book to include for homes and libraries everywhere。I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review。 Opinions are mine and are freely given。 A new "Little Kids First Big Book" loaded with fascinating information。 This time it's all about the "hard things on Earth" - Rocks， Minerals， and Shells。 There is so much to explore in this book。 Children can see the mundane as well as the exotic types of minerals and rocks along with the beauty of shells along the seashore。A good book to include for homes and libraries everywhere。I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review。 Opinions are mine and are freely given。 。。。more
