Broken into three easy-to-read chapters, this nonfiction covers all the most important facts about rocks and gems, such as the three main types of rock, how they're formed, how they've been discovered and utilized throughout history, and more.
There's even a handy 'Facts Roundup' page at the back of the book in case you weren't sure you caught all one-hundred facts while browsing or reading.
There are enough facts packed into this little book to give a well-rounded introduction to the subject, making it perfect for school and home libraries or for curious little learners.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2022National Geographic Kids Level 3 Fact reader has 100 fun facts about rocks and gems. Kids will learn that rocks and minerals can be found all over the world and even in space.
Over the years rocks have been used as tools, eye makeup and for protection against spirits. One mineral we all use is salt, which we need to survive. Most large rock formations are created from wind and rain. Mineral crystals can be as large as a tree trunk.
Readers will learn about the history, formation and even some of the most expensive gems in the world. This handy guide is full of engaging photos, fun facts and resources so readers can learn more. This book is designed for fluent readers who love a challenging vocabulary.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2024My son loves it
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022This is an interesting little book about stones and where they come from. Pretty much a child's book, but adults may appreciate the information.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022I thought this would be about how jewelry was made. You know, mining, cleaning, cutting, etc. Instead it’s more of how magma turns into different kinds of rocks, so it’s more of a geological book.
