Earth Basics (Materiales de la Tierra) - School Library Journal
These introductory earth science concepts foster in readers an understanding of the world around them and how they fit in it. Beginning with dialogic assistance and post-reading options, these titles provide a nice option to not only learn about important building blocks of our planet, but also what they mean to readers. The picture glossary is really useful as a visual cue for reviewing the concepts from the core text. While the subjects covered are familiar, like rocks and water, there are enriching conversations about how each exists and adds value to the world in its own way.
VERDICT: The rocks and minerals titles are particularly useful for libraries with geological interests past paleontology.
