• Why Frogs Are Wet by Judy Hawes

Holly Keller has created vivacious new paintings for this favorite Reading Rainbow title about geology. Readers follow two enthusiastic rock hounds around the globe as they add to their collection. Along the way they will learn how sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks are formed. From the Egyptian pyramids to Roman roads, from the diamond ring on your finger to the pebbles under your feet\'rocks are everywhere!


Kids will immediately be caught by the idea that, \"the oldest things you can collect are rocks.\" This simple geology book goes on to discuss the formation, hardness, types, and uses of rock. The coverage is cursory, yet it is sufficiently engaging to hold the interest of a young audience. Keller\'s illustrations, line drawings with watercolor washes, work well in showing the cross-sections of earth and volcanoes. Two children appear in many of the scenes, exploring a Roman road, finding fossils, mixing cement, and collecting rocks to store in boxes and egg cartons. A few pages feature photographs, allowing more realistic views of various rock types. Another good introductory book from the Let\'s-Read-and-Find-Out series.


One thing that is really great about this book is the simple illustrations to educate the reader about the Earth\'s Crust and Solid Rock Layer. There are simple diagrams of:
1. The components of a Volcano
2. Moh\'s Scale of hardness
3. The formation of sedimentary rocks
4. Metamorphic rock process
