Reviews

Rocks and minerals are hardly the world�s most scintillating topic, but the True or False series gives it a surprising amount of oomph with full-bleed photos of panoramic valleys, splashing lava, and sparkling gems. Every spread includes one question, ranging from the easy (�All rocks are gray. True or False?�) to the tricky (�All igneous rocks sink in water. True or False?�). Each page turn reveals the answer in a meaty paragraph packed with specifics. The kitchen-sink approach is fun but overwhelming; this is best suited for review after more organized units on rocks. Grades 2-4. --Daniel Kraus
