Hard, but not too hard

This is great -- the science of volcanoes is explained, with wonderful graphics and a very straightforward text. The words are hard but not too hard. The subject matter can be scary for little ones, but this book makes volcanoes plain and simple. And INTERESTING. My little first-grade scientist has read this many times.
Amazing book ... cross curricular!

This book is great to use in a center when teaching a unit on landforms and is also great for those kids who are aching to know more about the science rhelm of volcanoes. It's age appropriate and children at the Step 4 reading level will be challenged enough with it. :)

I think that this is a good book and I know that this is a good book. The part I like about it is when the volcano erupts.The part I don't like about it is when people died.I would recommend this to a 4th grade reader and I would have preferred for it to have more pages. I give it a 5 stars because it has nice pictures and I learned new information about volcanoes.
