(2) PS Illustrated by Cathie Felstead. Schaefer shows the development of a volcanic island: first an erupting volcano, later a thriving community. The appealing rhyming statements are perfectly pitched to young readers yet are remarkably sophisticated. The book's clean layout showcases colorful cut-paper collages that serve equally to creatively interpret the science sections and to capture the vibrancy of island life. Detailed information about volcanic island formation closes the book.
