The Pebble in my Pocket by Meredith Hooper and Christopher Coady starts off with a girl that finds a pebble in her pocket. She then holds it up and describes what the pebble looks like, and asks, “where did you come from, pebble?” The book then goes into the cycle of the rock from the molten magma to the weathering of the cliffs, and brings you back to the pebble she is holding in her hand. It puts a twist on the history of where rocks come from and also makes it more interesting for younger children. This book, while being suited for younger children, still has very detailed descriptions of how rocks are formed. ( )

This book cleverly explores what would otherwise have the potential of being very important information. My son, at 4, enjoyed the story, but the message of it was a bit over his head. I think in a few years, it will really be great for him. One thing worth mentioning: if you have issues with the Theory of Evolution, this book is not for you. There are some very obvious references to such throughout the book that would be difficult to gloss over. ( )
