DESCRIPTION:
It does have wonderful information and great for young in school person where Mary Lou Morris it is a big book , i perhaps should have looked for book for dummies it has a lot of words i need a dictionary for and lots of pictures but they are mostly small and dark , i was hoping more for clarification in pictures to compare . It does have wonderful information and great for young in school person where small print and small pictures aren't a problem. I need the large print edition. * smiles *. Bought this for my granddaughter and she loves finding rocks Bought this for my granddaughter and she loves finding rocks and uses this book to identify them. Information in it is extremely helpful..
