Synopsis

Buddy likes looking at and collecting rocks. Mama suggests they visit the local nature center. They hike the Blue Diamond Trail to five rock stops. They meet Roxie, a Rock Ridge Ranger. Buddy learns lots about bedrock, erosion, and how rocks are formed. He finds out many surprising things about rocks, rocks, rocks!

Nancy Elizabeth Wallace does it again, using her signature cut-paper illustrations to make a complex topic even more accessible to a younger audience.

From Booklist:

When Buddy the bear shows an interest in rocks, Mama takes him on the Rock Trail at the Nature Center, where he learns about types of rocks, how they are formed, and the causes of erosion. Along the way, he plays with a floating rock and makes up several rock-related riddles. The child-friendly text offers plenty of information, illustrated with collages that incorporate colorful origami papers and photos. The book concludes with activities and a list of “Rocky Names,” such as Flint, Michigan. Like Shells! Shells! Shells! (2006), this is a nice addition to the picture-book series in which Buddy explores nature. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan
