Teachers Kit

 

The kits are no longer available. Sorry. The material below is provided for historic purposes.

 

Each kit contains

  • A collection of stones encountered by Grampa and Adam.
  • A card linking each specimen to its proper name and to the corresponding image in the book (on one side), and giving information about each specimen (on the other).
  • Related materials, including
    • a photo of the author when she was four years old sitting on a stone wall,
    • a letter from the stone mason with an address from which an answer will come (like a letter to Santa Claus)
    • a magnifying glass, a magnetic compass, and f arm animals, just for fun.
