Rockhound was a visual delight with its beautiful story and marvelous illustrations by Emily Brunner featuring rocks. Every page was a feast for the eyes. Angela Morrison did an excellent job with the wording. This stunning picture book inspires children to build a rock collection on their own, reminding them that nature’s treasures are just beneath their feet, waiting to be discovered.

Every little rock hound, adventurer, and treasure seeker will love this book. It contains basic information on sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
