Ooo I've never heard of this book. It sounds delightful! I still have some rock treasures that I picked up as a kid sitting on my desk. .-= Megan´s last blog ..Earth Fair 2010 Photos | The Exploratorium – When a Cup is Not a Cup =-.

I want to second the recommendation for Everybody Needs a Rock. I have used the two books together to introduce preschoolers and early elementary kids to rock collecting a geology many times.

This sounds like a great book. My daughter loves to collect rocks. We have them all over the house. I can't wait to find this at the library. .-= Rana´s last blog ..Does your routine fly out the window... =-.

And a tip for moms...if you're incorporating water and fish into your rock discussion, limestone rocks will alter the PH of fresh water and can harm the fish. .-= Tina@RideonToys´s last blog ..The Radio Flyer Classic Red Car – A Wooden Delight For Toddlers =-.

Rocks are incredibly cool and I love this topic. Believe it or not I work in a wholesale stone supply yard and rocks are full of educational topics. Kids can get fascinated by them and they love to touch them! If you have any type of pond or water garden you can also talk about what types of stones work well in fish ponds and which ones can actually be damaging to the fish themselves. .-= Tina@RideonToys´s last blog ..Step2 Recalls 2.5 Million Ride on Toys for a Design Flaw =-.
