Reviews
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
