‘ROCKS AND MINERALS’ is an in-depth look at the ground beneath our feet. Like his other titles, Basher presents these topics through charming and adorable illustrations and pairs them with basic information told from a first person perspective. He develops a community of characters based on the things that form the foundations of our planet: rocks, gems, crystals, fossils and more. And what's more, he makes it understandable, interesting, and cute. It's not what you expect out of a science primer. I learnt about topaz, granite, galena, calcite, and diamonds!
I felt exploded (?) when I read this book. I just thought the ground was just made out of stone and granite and diamonds, emeralds, pink diamonds, sapphires, rubies, etc, not of garnet and slate! This was amazing!
Basically, I learned a lot!
