<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Using Japanese-influenced cartoon characters as illustrations, the author and illustrator give young scientists basic information about geology. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p>Simon Basher is back with another zany primer to science! Following his 3 successful titles on the basics of chemistry, physics, and biology, BASHER SCIENCE: ROCKS AND MINERALS is an in-depth look at the ground beneath our feet. Like his other titles, Basher presents these topics through charming and adorable illustrations and pairs them with basic information told from a first person perspective. He develops a community of characters based on the things that form the foundations of our planet: rocks, gems, crystals, fossils and more. And what's more, he makes it understandable, interesting, and cute. It's not what you expect out of a science primer.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"[T]he entries make lighthearted but unexpectedly meaty reading.
