Packed with fun facts, information, and extensive photography covering the rocks and minerals that make up the world around us, it’s built for interactive learning that genuinely engages young minds.

There’s plenty here on what our world is actually made of and how rocks and minerals form over time, with hands-on science activities such as starting an impressive rock collection and staying safe on rock-finding missions. Written for ages 6 to 9 with bite-sized information and explanations, the easy-to-understand language gives young readers a rock-solid foundation in science, and even includes phonetic pronunciation of rock and mineral names so they’ll sound like real experts in no time.
