We have a budding geologist in our house that goes by the name of Brooke. We tried getting her to stop bring in the hundreds of rocks she found, but to no avail. That’s when I started talking to hear about the different rocks, minerals, and gems. It only added fuel to her already burning fire to rocks. I have embraced her love of all things geology, and have started finding books that were age appropriate and information. I have found very few little good ones, but this one is awesome!
