This is a pretty good book on painting rocks and rock designs. If you like the rocks on the cover, you should like the other rocks in this book. You get more of what you see.
The only problem I had, is the instructions were okay for adults, but not children. I would think children might be drawn to this type of book, but the instructions need to be a little more detailed for children. Also, some pictures are shown without any patterns for them in the book. The adults and children might want those.
