Gr 2-4-Vibrant images of raw and polished gems jump off the pages in this brief yet beautiful introduction to gemstones. Written in a conversational tone, the books cover how gems are created, where they can be found, and what makes them so valuable: basic facts for those beginning to pursue their interests in geology, mineralogy, and gemology. The green and white color scheme provides an aesthetically pleasing, soothing background. The selection, such as aquamarine and topaz, exposes children to less familiar gemstones, and the accompanying photos, particularly those depicting gems set in exquisite jewelry, enhance the text. Bold vocabulary words and fascinating sidebars ("Be a Gem Genius!") contribute to the overall solidity of the series. VERDICT Striking visuals and interesting tidbits make this series a fine option for browsers and those completing assignments.α(c) Copyright 2011.
