Join award-winning science writer Seymour Simon in this picture book introduction to volcanoes! Volcanoes don’t always look like mountains; they aren’t always full of fire. Some are holes in the ground; some form under the sea. And despite their reputation for destruction, volcanoes produce new mountains, new islands, and new soil. Visit some of the world’s most remarkable volcanoes in this masterful introduction from Seymour Simon. It’s an extraordinary—and unforgettable—trip. With clear, simple text and stunning full-color photographs, readers will learn all about these amazing natural structures in this informative picture book! Perfect for young scientists’ school reports, this book supports the Common Core State Standards.

He hungrily devoured every volcano documentary available on Netflix (over and over), and a friend recommended this book. Since its arrival in February, we have never even put this book away. Both of my sons can very nearly recite it, and they love to pore over the gorgeous, exciting pictures that are on every page. We read it every single day. It's a great, great book for curious kids! Review: Lots of great info - I got this for my 7 year old for his birthday along with The Ultimate Volcano Science Kit - Make It Erupt! . He really enjoyed it, and there is a lot of great info for young scientists. There's info about volcanoes around the world, how they work, and a bit of history to go along with it. Some of the pictures are a little dated, but they kept his attention and my 3 year olds also had fun reading with us.

Volcanoes
Not a lot of facts about volcanoes and what they do to the environment. Lots of great pictures and it gives some basic facts. Not good for fourth grade project on environmental effects such as food chains.

Bought for my son
My 7 year old son is obsessed with Volcano's so I purchased this for him for Christmas.It is one of his favorite books and he is able to follow along and I caught him reading along with it. He is on the autism spectrum and has some issues with reading so I was worried if he would be able to read this book or if it would be too old for him but he has no problem reading it and is in love with it.

The photos are fantastic. The content
My son loves this book. The photos are fantastic. The content, if you read the whole thing, is a bit too advanced for him (3 years), but I think this book will be one he will enjoy for years to come. Lots of information about volcanoes on a kids level.
