Crystals for Kids: Learn the Names of 17 Rocks and Minerals by Brenda DeHaan

Do you like rocks and minerals? How many different ones can you name?

“Crystals for Kids” has colorful photographs of 17 kinds of rocks and minerals (also called crystals). See how many you already know and see what the others look like.

The crystals are shown with their names and are also photographed in magical village scenes. Most of the stones are in their polished form.

“Crystals for Kids” combines geology with imagination.

It has almost NO reading, just learning through the creative photographs with the rocks labeled. Look at the fun pictures and learn to identify more rocks and minerals. This book also works well as an interesting homeschooling science lesson.

NOTE: Because color is an important part of rock identification, reading this book with a Kindle or app that has color capabilities is highly recommended.
