This bright and funny book tells the story of a rock that gradually gets eroded by the sea, wind, rain, and ice. The Science Works series uses cartoons and lively narrative text to make core science topics accessible and interesting.

Hot days, cold nights, relentless rain, gales, and crashing waves – for thousands of years. That's enough to make even the hardest rocks break apart!

In this updated edition by Jacqui Bailey, we follow the story of what happens when a rock is slowly eroded by the sea, wind, rain, and ice. We discover how rocks from a hillside eventually turn into the grains of sand we find on the beach.

This book also includes an experiment, more interesting information, useful websites, and an index. Perfect for readers aged 6 and above.
