The Pebble in My Pocket

by Meredith Hooper & Chris Coady

Where do pebbles come from? How were they made?

This book tells the story of a pebble, from its origins in a fiery volcano 480 million years ago to a busy, modern landscape. Readers follow the processes of rock formation and erosion that create new pebbles all over the world.

Programme of Study

Pupils should be taught to compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties.
