I shared my love of rocks with my 9 yr old grandson with this book and a box of rocks to identify. He learned quickly about the methods of classification and how rocks are formed.

D.C. · January 9, 2025

Bought this for my 4-year old granddaughter for Christmas to pair with a treasure chest of gems and pretty rocks. She is fascinated with gems. This book is very rare. Extremely difficult to find a book on gems for young children. Thank you, Amazon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures for each rock, gem, mineral

A.M. · December 15, 2021

Brief introductory information about what rocks, minerals, birthstones are with the majority of the book consisting of 50 of the 70 pages total, each dedicated to one specimen, alphabetically from agate to turquoise. The information for each is pronunciation, description, properties and an interesting fact. So very brief and the main item is the beautiful picture of the specimen. I wish there were a summary table of contents because I personally don't know enough about a specimen to be able to look it up just by its name. I received a digital review copy from the publisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocks for all!

Very educational, my 7 year old queen loves rocks and this helps her how to identify them much better

This is a really well done book about rocks and minerals. Beautiful pictures. I'm getting it for my grandson who is going onto 3rd grade and loves rocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it for them, we can start now changing the future!

m. · June 5, 2025

I got this for my niece who is turning into rock hound like myself…it was so good I bought 6 more to share with other children who want to leave how amazing rocks/crystals are for everything!

5.0 out of 5 stars Title a bit misleading for age group

S. · April 5, 2023

I was assuming it would be more young child friendly. The pictures are vivid but the wording is a bit big for my toddler. She is a big rock collector so being able to tell her what type of rock she has is a great teaching moment plus makes her collection world seem even more interesting to her. That being said I would have liked a more child level based explanation written on the pages.
