We think of them as ordinary objects, but rocks can do amazing things: there are rocks that glow and rocks that
travel through space, rocks that float and rocks that burn.
These are only some of the surprises in Weird Rocks, a musthave
guide for young rock hounds. Author Michele Corriel
introduces readers to sixteen unusual rocks and explains
the science behind what each one does and how it does it.
Youngsters will discover what makes one kind of rock smell
like a rotten egg, what rock acts like a magnet, and what
rock contains hidden treasure. High-quality photographs,
colorful paintings, and hilarious cartoons add visual delight
to this entertaining and informative book.
