It was Arnold’s turn to keep Liz for the weekend. He also had to prepare for the big Collection Convention where he would show off his rocks.

The story was an interactive read that challenged readers to think critically. The illustrations were colorful and lifelike.

This is a fun book about sorting rocks based on different criteria, such as size, color, shape and texture. It stars a few of the primary characters from The Magic School Bus series and is more oriented for younger children and early readers.

This book is about Arnold's rock collection that had Liz in it. And I have one question. Tell me different ways you can sort rocks. Colour. That's it. Texture? You bet. Size. You're grown big as a rock. Shape? Rock-antastic!

My favourite part was the last way they sorted it out. Which was? Guess. A pile? You got it.
