Rhoda is on a long, long hike with her aunt and uncle, each of them carrying backpacks of gear as they walk through the north woods. While Auntie June and Uncle Jonah watch for wildlife and set up their campsites, Rhoda is on the hunt for one thing: ROCKS.

Why I like this book: Rhoda’s Rock Hunt gives a good introduction about different rocks for children who are curious about rocks. On a hike, a child collects different rocks and explores their textures.
