Review: Wow, this book is amazing! First, it has a handy Table of Contents, Glossary, and Index, which makes it easy to jump around in the book when looking for something specific. But this book is also browsable. The text is broken into chunks of a few sentences at a time with playful illustrations to support the text. In fact, the illustrations are one of my favorite elements. Who knew that rocks and minerals could be illustrated with personalities? And yet, Shiho Pate has done just that. And if you're a die-hard nonfiction fan like me, the idea of anthropomorphizing inanimate objects might seem to push the bounds of nonfiction, and yet, it works. Shiho has given the rocks faces, but she's also carefully researched rocks and minerals and given them shapes based on their formations and uses. It's quite brilliant. Highly recommended for readers, young and old, teachers, and librarians.
