Illustrated by
Laurie O'Keefe.
This story about how the destructive effects of a volcano are mitigated over time follows a gopher, whose natural digging behavior helps with the recovery of the habitat. Though the detailed art is realistic, the animals appear concerned then fearful as they run from the eruption. Information about volcanoes and tectonic plates, a quiz, and a couple of experiments are appended.

Illustrated by
Sergio Ruzzier.
Grandmother Mole takes on some of the more greedy, anarchic moments of preschooler-hood in four perceptive, amusing, and short tales. With the compelling patterns and verbal economy of a gifted storyteller, Segal draws us into an idiosyncratic, comfortable world. Ruzzier's portrait of the moles as lovable grotesques complete this mix of homey charm and otherworldly weirdness.
