Follow this wonderful story of the “rock cycle” as a chunk of igneous rock becomes smaller and smaller until it is a tiny grain in a piece of sedimentary rock. Full color gouache paintings illustrate the beginnings of life on earth through the first reptiles and dinosaurs until present day. A good book for young children as they watch the rock becoming smaller and smaller. An illustrated geologic time scale, a glossary and a bibliography also make this a good resource for older children and their study of earth science.
