| Publisher Description: Rock On gives a simple and informative introduction to different kinds of rocks, soils, fossils, and minerals, exploring how and why their appearance and properities have changed over time. Examples of where the different types of rocks mentioned can be found include places that are familiar to a child's local environment, such as soil in a garden, marble in tiles, diamonds in jewelery, and fossils on a beach, but also found in exciting places such as the Crystal Caves in Mexico and the prehistoric woolly mammoth body in Siberia. These examples are shown through beautiful color photographs and easy-to-understand illustrations. With the help of some rock-solid facts that provide cool examples and some fun activities to do, Rock On shows you how amazing rocks can be. |
