About The Author

Brenda Scott Royce

Brenda Scott Royce is a lifelong lover of beasts and books—and whenever possible her work combines the two. She’s served as editor of Zoo View, the award-winning magazine of the Los Angeles Zoo, for more than a decade. Her children’s books include two titles in the ASPCA’s Pet Rescue Club series— Champion’s New Shoes and Bailey the Wonder Dog. Her award-winning comedic novels Monkey Love and Monkey Star chronicle the misadventures of Holly Heckerling, a stand-up comedienne who befriends a monkey while juggling career and romantic entanglements. Brenda likes to say that she majored in monkeys in college (she earned a bachelor’s degree in primatology and anthropology from California State University, Fullerton) and that some of her best friends are chimpanzees (she worked as a chimp keeper at a wildlife sanctuary). She lives in Glendora, California.

This is a perfect educational book for the early elementary age student who is interested in rocks and gems.

– National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA)

I like that readers get 6 rocks included and a poster to help them start their collection and to learn about how rocks and gems are formed. Children learn about geology, groups of rocks, how to collect rocks and a guide to rocks (Igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary, minerals and precious gems.)

– National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA)

I think the book makes learning about geology fun and exciting and the fact that it comes with six rocks to start their collection is awesome. The pictures throughout the book are great and the writing is well done — perfect for young readers. They will probably want to hold onto this book for years to come. And the book is interesting so the whole family can enjoy it.
