DESCRIPTION:
Buy these books despite my reservations guitar geek This review applies to MOST of the Basher books as they all seem to share the same mix of excellence and failure.First, these books are GREAT in that they present some of the terminology/jargon of the subject matter in a way that seems to interest small children! (in my experience, ages 4-7 seems about right) This is actually a BIG DEAL, as the books reliably deal in wonderfully important subjects. For this, I highly recommen.

Simon Basher is back with another zany primer on science! Following his three successful titles on the basics of chemistry, physics, and biology, Rocks and Minerals is an in-depth look at the ground beneath our feet
