(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kyle Poling. Tomecek introduces young readers to the basics of rock types, their formation, and the larger-scale processes that shape the earth (with a smaller section on minerals). Helpful color photographs of the rock and mineral specimens are superimposed on somewhat-less-accurate cartoonlike illustrations of larger-scale rock formations and processes. A cartoon character guides readers through; a "rock"-making activity is appended.
