Review by Booklist Review

Rocks and minerals are hardly the world's most scintillating topic, but the True or False series gives it a surprising amount of oomph with full-bleed photos of panoramic valleys, splashing lava, and sparkling gems. Every spread includes one question, ranging from the easy ( All rocks are gray. True or False? ) to the tricky ( All igneous rocks sink in water. True or False? ). Each page turn reveals the answer in a meaty paragraph packed with specifics. The kitchen-sink approach is fun but overwhelming; this is best suited for review after more organized units on rocks.--Kraus, Daniel Copyright 2010 Booklist
