Customer Reviews

The simple, shaded color illustrations add a visual touch to this geological tale.

The Mystery of the Round Rocks is an educational children's picturebook about the mysterious and powerful forces of nature that have affected our planet for millions years. When a boy and a girl discover a stacked mound of smooth, round stones, their grandfather tells them the amazing true story of how the stones came to be. The force of a glacier once crept across the land, shaping the earth and smoothing rocks; when the glacier retreated, the humans who came much later to farm the land stacked the rocks in a pile so they could plow the earth. The simple, shaded color illustrations add a visual touch to this geological tale. Highly recommended.
