Stones & Bones

Author Char Matejovsky has partnered up with illustrator Robaire Ream to create an exceptional children's book that teaches through rhyme and incredibly detailed images. Their focus is to educate young people about the time line of the Earth's life. I feel the book would be most appropriate for children aged between 5 and 9.Stones & Bones would appeal to children, classes and families interested in scientific study of history, anthropology, dinosaurs and early man. Stimulating, full-color images challenge the mind and educate at the same time as supplying a sense of comfort through the cozy, family-like scenes. They are so detailed that the more one looks at the illustrations, the more one sees.The 32-page hard cover book does not have a slipcover, but seems to be of high quality. The pages feel thick and sturdy. It is accompanied by a CD that contains the "stones & Bones Song: The Song of the Meadowlark" performed by the Santa Rosa Children's Chorus. The pianist was
Mark Osten, the lyrics and music were created by Char Matejovsky and it was directed by Carol Menke. With this long list of contributors I came to realize how this book became such a wonderful creation. I certainly appreciated the phonetics glossary at the end of the book. Parents, grandparents and teachers are encouraged to visit the stonesandbonesbook.com website, which they will find is a valuable resource.I encourage parents to pick up this book for their young ones - it's never too early to learn. Without hesitation, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
