About this Item

This vintage dual?subject children?s science book combines two complete titles in a single hardcover volume. Illa Podendorf?s approachable writing and clear explanations introduce young readers to both marine mammals and basic geology, making this an engaging educational resource for classrooms, homeschool collections, and vintage science book enthusiasts.

The Whales section covers whale behavior, anatomy, habitats, and conservation themes written for early readers. The Rocks and Minerals section introduces rock types, mineral identification, and simple earth science concepts with easy?to?understand language. The two?in?one format is characteristic of early 1980s educational publishing and is now increasingly collectible.

This 1982 first edition hardcover features classic children?s science illustrations and sturdy binding typical of the era. A great addition for collectors of vintage educational books, teachers seeking supplemental science material, or anyone who appreciates retro nature and geology titles.
