Donna: Bought this as a gift for a young boy. My goodness, though, I think I want to read it! I flipped through the pages out of curiosity, and was floored at the amount of information. It's absolutely chock full of awesome tidbits for the kid who has an interest in the world and it's amazing features. So much to learn, and beautiful pictures to illustrate. There's a few simple experiments that can be done. It looks so interesting!

M & M: It's a great read for smaller and bigger kids. Both my girls (6 & 11 years old) are very much into all kinds of rocks, gemstones, minerals and fossils as well, so this book is just perfect for them.

It explains where the rocks come from, how people use them in everyday life, such as marble, salt, metal ores etc. It has also section with gemstones showing how they look before and after being polished, which is quite interesting.

It is a pity that, despite the title and cover image, we haven't found many of the tumblestones from my girls' collection inside this book...

meme: My ten year old granddaughter loves rocks and collects rocks of every size and description She had a long road trip to summer vacation and this was a perfect book for her. Pleased oh my goodness yes! A perfect Birthday gift along with a great rock specimen. . She was happy and kept sticking her nose in the book as we ate supper... Thanks from her was all a grandmother needs. The pictures are great and it is narrated with ease and style. I have found all of the national geographic books to be excellent teaching tools especially the children s books. it takes the child into the real world of our planet. A child is able to learn quickly about the make up of the rocks and minerals that composes this world they live in.
