Description

Crrr-ack!

A boulder falls from a mountain and cracks into cobbles, which transform into pebbles, then granules, then sand, and silt. What began as a mountain in the clouds forms a mountain in the ocean… and the cycle begins again.

Extra nonfiction content at the back of the book gives readers a more in-depth look at how scientists classify different rock sizes.

A gorgeous introduction to the rock cycle for the youngest geologists.

Mountain, Boulder, Pebble, Sand by Rebecca Van Slyke is an enlightening journey through the natural processes of rock transformation.
