Pack up your gear and get ready to go on a dig. Whether it's iron ore, dazzling gemstones, or a prehistoric creature preserved in amber, a mother lode of exciting discoveries await budding paleontologists and geologists in this informative picture book. Large and detailed full-color spreads, complemented by clear, concise text unearth the mysteries of the ground beneath our feet. Children will learn how rocks, crystals, minerals, and fossils are formed, where they are found, and how they are used. Step-by-step illustrations and captions explore such processes as the fossilization of ancient animals and plants, together with the work of the scientists who catalog and preserve them. Includes an illustrated glossary and an index to sharpen the young reader's reference skills.
Generous spacing in page design invites browsers to learn about the earth's composition and some of the ways scientists learn about ancient plants, animals, and the uses humans have made of metals and petroleum. While the density of information doesn't approach that of a Dorling Kindersley book on the same topic, this text explores the topic in an overview that will appeal to young children. For instance, a double page spread about precious gems includes the British crown and notes about its jewels, a circle of birthstones, and a sequence showing how dull gems in the wild become jewels. The illustrative full-color paintings present enough detail to illuminate the text without overwhelming it. Includes glossary and index. 2000, Kingfisher, Ages 6 to 10, $12.95.
