A Rock Is Lively

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sylvia Long. Factual information about rocks, rock formations, and minerals, as well as the ways in which humans have used rocks as tools and for art, are characterized with adjectives at times poetic ("A rock is helpful" or "creative") and other times straightforward ("A rock is old"). The colorful but flat artwork fails to capture fine details of the rock and mineral types portrayed.
