"This book needs to be in every household and classroom for the K-2 age range! It is not only educational but full of rigorous activities to engage any child. This is a foundational way to support their learning as they grow older and create in a student the desire to know the world around them in a new way. I can imagine children reading and completing this book will immediately see the world around them as they step outside and wonder, "Is that rock igneous?" or "What's inside this large boulder at the park?" Love this book!" --Brianne White, elementary teacher and content creator
