Title: Seriously Disappointed
Product review: I purchased this book, based on reviews, and was very disappointed. I purchased it for an 8 year old boy to spark an interest in rocks and to share our family's interest in rockhounding with him. I really feel the reviews are somewhat misleading. This book has no specific geological information or specific identification of rocks, which is more along the lines of what I was looking for. This book is written in a very "artsy" manner, almost like a poetry book. It has large pictures of kids looking for rocks and is written in an overly simplistic style. I was so disappointed in it, that I went out and bought a book that I could see before I bought it, and settled on Peterson's First Guides - Rocks and Minerals. I know it's not specifically geared towards kids, but it is a great field guide, is PACKED with actual information and was less expensive than If You Find A Rock. With this book, if you find a rock, you won't know what kind of rock it is.
