Everything: Rocks and Minerals
National Geographic Kids
- Reading
- Browse by photograph, map or topic rather than reading straight through.
- Themes
- Curiosity through geology: The book introduces geological subjects through facts, photographs, comparisons, anecdotes and visual explanations. It presents geology as something to investigate and understand, with an energetic and sometimes humorous style.
- Learning through reference features: Maps, infographics, diagrams, a photo gallery, glossary features and activities support the presentation of geological information. The structure appears designed for browsing, locating terms and moving between concepts and practical examples.
- Worth knowing
- Expect an information-led experience rather than a sustained narrative. The visual features may invite dipping in and out, while the volume of facts and textbook-like presentation may call for pauses or shared discussion.
