August 19, 2013  It's Monday! What are you reading 8/19/2013
There's a children's book exhibition on in my town and one book
that caught my eye was A Rock Is Lively by Diana Hutts Aston and
Sylvia Long (affiliate link).  The illustrations are bright and
beautiful. The text is hard to classify.  Is it poetry?
"Bubbling like a pot of soup deep beneath the Earth's crust ...
liquid ... molten ... boiling"  Is it geology? "Depending on
what type of rock it is, a rock melts at temperatures between
1,300 and 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit ..."   However you categorize
this book, the illustrations and poetic writing will satisfy
your artistic side while the informative text will thrill your
inner rockhound.  A Rock Is Lively Cover     1. You're
absolutely right; it doesn't matter if this book is poetry or
geology. Whatever it is, it is lovely. Thanks for sharing!
