Mama Bear and Buddy Bear (Shells! Shells! Shells!) follow a rock trail at a nature center. At each of five stops, Mama and Buddy learn about random topics. This earth science introduction features bright mixed-media collage illustrations and a straightforward text (though the story is forced). Back matter includes suggestions for rock activities, some "rock sayings," and a list of "rocky" cities.
