Review

Budding young geologists will find lots of interesting information on igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks and how they came to be formed. Teachers will appreciate the solid information on the rock cycle and the large and fascinating photos included with the text. The text is clear and concise and yet covers many topics revolving around rocks, including changes made by weather, erosion, heat, pressure, and volcanoes. There are also rock experiments included and a glossary and further reading list. A very good book for school libraries.

Overall Book Score: very good
