DK Eyewitness Rocks and Minerals

DK Eyewitness Rocks and Minerals takes young readers on a journey beneath the Earth's surface, exploring everything from volcanic rocks and shimmering gemstones to ancient marble and fallen meteorites, while explaining how rocks form, how minerals are identified, and how crystals grow. Packed with vivid photographs, infographics, and fact-checked expert accounts, this fully revised edition makes geology accessible and visually exciting for ages 9–12. It is an excellent resource for students because its bite-sized, image-rich format builds earth science content knowledge while encouraging the kind of hands-on curiosity that leads kids to start their own rock and mineral collections.
