Mr. Tate's class is about to learn there's more to rocks than being dirty lumps on the ground. On this field trip they're visiting the rocky ridge mountains to learn about rocks. At first the children think rocks will be boring, but they soon learn that rocks are all around us in ways we might not expect—such as glass and toothpaste!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Formento and Snow continue their series of nature-meets-numbers books with a foray into geology. Once again, Mr. Tate's class is taking a field trip this time, it's to find rocks and learn their stories. "Listening" to a boulder reveals a counting narrative about rocks and minerals: "Three busy beetles chew on moss-covered stones. Four seaside mounds dry into table salt." Snow's inviting digital collages provide an easy entrance into the topic, though a grumpy student's 180-degree turnaround (" Wow!' said Amy. There's more to rocks than I thought' ") is a tad quick. For those who agree with classmate Eli that "Rocks rock," an information-rich afterword dives into details about rock types, their uses, notable rock formations, and the study of rocks and volcanoes. Ages 4 7.
