From Booklist
Reviewed with Roy A. Gallant's Minerals.
Gr. 3-5. These volumes in the Kaleidoscope--Earth Sciences series look at elements in the natural world--minerals, fossils, water, and rocks--using photographs, drawings, and graphics to enhance the simple text. Minerals begins with the question, "Have you ever tasted a mineral?" Fossils uses a series of drawings to show how a dying fish can become a fossil. After some basics, the books delve deeper into their subjects, covering some fairly complex topics, such as mineral replacement. Good support material for children studying the earth sciences, with enough photos to attract the interest of browsers. Heather Hepler

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-4-Fine introductory titles. In the first book, the easy-to-read text offers clear explanations about the ways fossils are formed and information on reading the record they leave behind. It also includes brief descriptions of a paleontologist's work and how museum exhibits are created. In Rocks, the basic formations (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) are introduced. A "Did You Know?" section provides some additional facts. In both titles, not all scientific words are given phonetic pronunciations. Well-selected, beautifully reproduced photographs and computer graphics illustrate these volumes.
