Volcano Wakes Up!

32 pp. | Holt | March, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-8287-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. Sixteen brief poems record a day--sunrise to moonrise--in the life of a Hawaiian volcano. Told from shifting viewpoints (the volcano, two crickets, some ferns, the sun, a road, the moon), the verse imaginatively limns the explosive activity. Some brief facts follow the poems (there's no explanation of the actual mechanics of a volcano's eruption). Jenkins's appropriately atmospheric cut-paper collages fill the pages.
