We fell in love with these rock books for kids—storybooks with gorgeous pictures that also shared real facts about rocks and geology. These were our absolute favorites during the unit study. When it was time to return them to the library, we weren’t quite ready to let them go, but we were so grateful for the time we had to enjoy and learn from them.
