Rock On! April 6, 2008
I teach 4th grade and in our core, we do a unit on rocks. This is the perfect book to get kids excited about looking for rocks and for making rocks have a special meaning to them. It is such a cute book. I bought one for myself and a couple more for my 4th grade colleagues for Christmas. We all love it!
A WONDERFUL BOOK THAT STRUCK CLOSE TO HOME. September 22, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Since I was a little boy, long, long ago, I have had a fascination for rocks. As I grew older I cannot count the hours I have spent in creek beds, hill sides, fields and on dirt roads, first with my children, then with my four grandsons, looking for, talking about, wondering about and simply "seeing" rocks. This wonderful small volume says it all and captures the beauty of rocks and the beauty of children as they explore and expierence them. The lyrical prose/verse that tell the story of rocks is a pure joy to read. The photographs of children and rocks will touch anyone who who enjoys the company of small children and of rocks. Barbara Hirsch Lember has done a wonderful, artistic job with her camera and technique and Peggy Christian has given us some very impressive text. This is simply a well done and beautiful book and I am quite sure that you and your child or grandchild will get as much pure joy from it as I have. I do highly recommend you add this one to your library. I like another reviewer, first check this one out at the library but then went ahead and purchased my own copy. Read it and enjoy!
Seeing the World through a Child's Eyes October 22, 2006

What a marvelous book. It grabs and hold your interest and the interest of my 1, 3, and 6 year old. We borrowed this from the library and today I am purchasing it online. This well written book shows the joy of rocks. Most of us have at one time or another have kicked a rock in front of us. Now you can learn why! Many of us have sat on a rock and now we see why it was such a perfect place to sit. Introduce your children to the wonders of the world around them with this exceptional book. Now I am on a mission to find any other books by this author. This is not a rock identification book, but rather a book that teaches observation and appreciation of rocks.
Terrific Inquiry-Based Lesson Starter! August 2, 2002
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
This wonderful book is a great way to begin a lesson on rocks and minerals! It's imaginative and beautifully written. My third grade class loved it! I will use it every year to begin our inquiry-based science unit on rocks and minerals! The creative way to classify rocks was a very nice way to begin the topic of rocks and minerals with the students! We even started our own collection, using Christian's unique way of classifying them!

Wonderful prose, invitingly tempting pictures of children and rocks...my rock-crazy toddler loves having this book read to him. Who wouldn't love a book about the wonder of rocks?
