What is sand? How is it formed? Where does sand come from? How does it get to the beach? Why is it different colors? Let the sand-piper sleuth show you the answers to these questions in this lively, collage-style look at a familiar substance that's never been so fascinating. Describes the formation of sand from materials such as coral, rock, crystals, and shows how it can be moved by water, wind, ice, and other erosion agents. Perfect match to MARE/Families & Schools activities Sand On Stage and Sands of Time.
