What Customers Say About Let's Go Rock Collecting (Let'S-Read-And-Find-Out Science. Stage 2):

So I ended up purchasing a rock field guide so my son could identify what he was finding. This book is goo for your child interested in starting a collection, and science. It can be read by the child and understood, but it doesn't have many rock descriptions.

Overall, I don't think this book is going to inspire a kid to rush out and become a rock hound or geologist, as it lacks any sort of "wow" factor, but it is certainly a useful educational book. The end of the book briefly encourages kids to go out and collect their own rocks, aiming for a variety of colors, and then to go home and try to identify them. If there are any rock hounding groups or gem/mineral shows near you, THAT is a great way to get your kid fascinated by the amazing rocks/crystals/minerals that come out of our earth. This is NOT an introduction to rock hounding as I had hoped. The bulk of the book contains interesting information about the three types of rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) that was easy for young readers to understand.

The formation of sedimentary rocks4. The components of a Volcano2. Moh's Scale of hardness3. Let's Go Rock Collecting is an excellent book in the Let's Read and Find Out Science Series. Metamorphic rock processThe book also ends with a practical suggestion that kids will love and that's how to begin your own rock collection and start to identify the rocks you have.NOTE: Depending on your view of the age of the earth, you may like to know that this book utilizes millions of years in its descriptions. It has great illustrations that capture a child's attention and actual photos of the various rocks described so that the child (and parent) can identify a few basic rocks.One thing that is really great about this book is the simple illustrations to educate the reader about the Earth's Crust and Solid Rock Layer. My son started with this book when he was 4 (he's now 5). There are simple diagrams of:1.

This book is good for children in primary grades 1-3. The writing was engaging. My son and I used this book to suplement our study of rocks. We ejoyed the artwork.

Clearly written information, great photographs, and wonderful illustrations educate the K-2 science student in an enjoyable way. I am a huge fan of the Let's Read and Find Out science series of books, and this one doesn't disappoint.
