Review:
"Packed with information covering topics such as plate tectonics, mountain ranges, earthquakes, climate, plains, rivers, and ecosystems, this book teaches students so much about geology, physical geography, and how the earth was formed." —www.NSTA.org
"Another fine addition to Nomad Press' Build It Yourself series. . . . It starts with a beautifully lucid explanation of plate tectonics, and then moves into the formation of the Appalachian mountains, touching on earthquakes, and fossil fuels. . . . It is really the best geology book for 8-10 year old kids I've read." —www.CharlottesLibrary.blogspot.com
"Complementing the information-filled text, sidebars, and charts are such nifty projects as make your own lighthouse, make your own hurricane, create folded mountains, and discover the effects of an oil spill." —Calliope (October 2012)
