About The Book

Told from the perspective of a proud four-billion-year-old rock, this charmingly funny and thoroughly informative nonfiction picture book is perfect for young geologists.

Rock tells his sensational, sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious, geological tale to a group of eager students. From his humble beginnings beneath Earth’s crust, to a volcano blast that propelled him onto land, to the storms and earthquakes and dinosaur encounters and deep-sea adventures that finally bring him to the bottom of a student’s shoe, come discover what makes Rock rock!

Detailed informational sidebars and extensive backmatter are the cherry on top of this illuminating and accessible crash course in geology.
