National Geographic Kids Everything Rocks and Minerals: Dazzling gems of photos and info that will rock your world

got for my son for his birthday because he is into rocks and crystals, cant wait for him to check it out

My ten year old granddaughter loves rocks and collects rocks of every size and description She had a long road trip to summer vacation and this was a perfect book for her. Pleased oh my goodness yes! A perfect Birthday gift along with a great rock specimen. . She was happy and kept sticking her nose in the book as we ate supper... Thanks from her was all a grandmother needs. The pictures are great and it is narrated with ease and style. I have found all of the national geographic books to be excellent teaching tools especially the children s books. it takes the child into the real world of our planet. A child is able to learn quickly about the make up of the rocks and minerals that composes this world they live in.

I purchased this as a gift for my grandson and he loves it. It's colorful and packed with information about various rocks. There's interesting facts about many rocks. I would suggest purchasing a rock kit if the child has not begun a nice collection of rocks. I would purchase this item again.

This book has great pictures and interesting text to share with young children. We bought this when we bought the smithsonian rock tumbler and it gave me and my kids something to discuss while using the tumbler. I enjoy the national geographic kids books in general - gets kids involved in non-fiction books.

Very good book! Exactly how it was described ..

Great gift for kids

I bought this for a friend's 7 year old boy who after visiting quartz mines in New York started becoming interested in rocks. He LOVES this book. It has beautiful photos, vivid colors, and interesting facts. Easy to understand and designed almost like a comic book (little excerpts here and there). I might have to order another copy to keep here for my own kids (and maybe myself...) as they were reading through it before I could wrap it and thought it was really cool. The book is also printed on what feels like very durable and probably washable paper. The cover is paperback but feels very strong. Definitely made for a child's hands to flip through again and again.

Lots of great facts. Can't beat National Geographics for accurate info. Fast shipping
