Publisher's Summary:
Let's Go Rock Collecting by Roma Gans is an engaging nonfiction picture book that invites young readers to join two enthusiastic children on a global adventure in search of fascinating rocks. Traveling across diverse landscapes, the pair explores beaches, mountains, cities, and historical sites, discovering that rocks are found everywhere—from ancient pyramids and Roman roads to the pebbles beneath our feet. As the story unfolds, children learn about the three main types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. The text combines accessible explanations with vivid illustrations by Holly Keller, helping readers understand how each type of rock forms and where they might be found in the world around them.

Designed as a Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, the narrative balances factual information with a sense of wonder and discovery. It encourages curiosity and hands-on exploration, making it an excellent resource for sparking interest in geology and the natural sciences. Teachers will appreciate the book's clear explanations, age-appropriate vocabulary, and opportunities for classroom discussion or science activities, such as starting a classroom rock collection or observing rocks with the senses. Let's Go Rock Collecting is a valuable tool for integrating science into literacy instruction and for inspiring students to observe and interact with their environment as budding geologists.
