What are rocks? Readers will learn the answer to this question plus discover the three main rock categories, which are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Students will learn about rocks in each category, such as granite, obsidian, sandstone, and marble. The book is perfect for very young children since the text is very simple. The photos will be helpful to non–readers as well as support early readers in their understanding. Each double page spread has a few lines of text in large print, opposite a large picture filling a full page. There is a glossary, an index, and additional sources for text and Internet information. The Science Builders series is a fabulous collection of books for K–2 science teachers to have on their shelves since the series supplement the national science standards.
