Summary: A Journey to Enjoy
Review: *Earthsteps: A Rock's Journey Through Time* is one of those rare children's books that an adult can also enjoy reading over and over. The illustrations complement the thoughtful and intelligent text, making it a journey to enjoy and to learn from at the same time. My 14 year old read it eagerly, as did my 11 year old. I expected that because they are both voracious readers who have a geologist father, but what I was delighted by was the excited interest of the 5 through 9 year olds to whom I read it at the school where I substitute teach regularly. I highly recommend this fine work to everyone.

Summary: geology made fun
Review: as someone working with geologists and geology as a career, i found earthsteps to be a fun way to introduce this subject to children. most children are not exposed to earth science, so a book of this calibur should be a part of all elementary school libraries.

Summary: Earthsteps: A Rock's Journey Through Time
Review: Historically accurate! We could find lots of books about dinosaurs, but very little about geology for children. What we liked about this book is that it is scientifically sound, yet not too complicated for children.

Summary: Children are fascinated by this book!
Review: I enthusiastically recommend this book! Who knew that the journey of a rock through time was dramatic AND fascinating? When was the last time you considered how a simple rock came to be? This story is as educational as it is entertaining to the children who have read it in my home. I had a five-year-old guest for the weekend, and THIS is the book she wanted out of all the books in my library. She was drawn to this rock and cared what happened to it. It was fun for her to "find" the rock in every beautiful illustration. Every time I read it to the younger children, I learn a little more, too!

Summary: Great Story to Teach Children about Geology and Earth Scienc
Review: It is clear the author wants to engage the reader into seeing the excitement of the geologic cycle, and to teach earth science to children using scientific terms. The book is beautifully illustrated, and exceptionally well written It is clear the author has an excellent background in geology. When I read the book to my grandchildren, they want it read again and again. Looking at rocks, the children and I have a new perspective of what a rock really is and how it came about. I look forward to other books by this author!

Summary: Great educational book for kids
Review: My 9 year old loves this book and enjoyed reading it to me. The illustrations were outstanding. It's difficult to get a 9 year old interested in geology, but this book captivated his attention and educated him at the same time. Great book!

Summary: Excellent Introduction to Geologic Time and Processes.
Review: The story and pictures are so much fun AND educational that I bought 5 copies and donated them to my childrens' school libraries. The story's main thesis is that Earth's crust is in a constant state of erosion, deposition, and upheaval. Over geologic time (i.e. millions of years), the cycle repeats itself again and again. It is an excellent primer on the concept of geologic time and earth processes.

I would reccommend this book for all ages, as it is fun and proves to be a great resource for geological information!
