I give this book a three star rating because there are components of the book that I really like while at the same time having aspects that can be improved. One reason why I like the book is because it provides a clear understanding of the three types of rocks as well as minerals, gemstones, and fossils. The one thing that I do not like deals with the field guide section where children can read all about the different types of minerals, rocks, or gemstones. In this section, the illustrator takes a picture of the specific object being identified and blows it up and sticks a few boxes of information over top of it. I think that this is very distracting.
