Summary: Rocks and Minerals is a nonfiction book that is full of interesting facts information. The reader will learn about real-life minerals such as crystal and gold that can be worked into different shapes for necklaces, rings and other jewelry. The pictures in the book are real photographs taken from unique rock formations such as Utah's Grand Staircase, and learn the effects of wind and water on the rock. Throughout the book there are bolded words for vocabulary/glossary purposes and facts from about 150 million years ago. I also liked that the b ook sounded out words for the younger readers such as, organisms (or-guh-niz-uhms). This made Rocks and Minerals very age appropriate and engaging .
