Volcanoes: Nature's Incredible Fireworks

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cheryl Nathan. Simple yet conceptually rich sentences combine with colorful movement-and-light-filled artwork to introduce young readers to this natural phenomenon. Harrison anchors his discussion of volcano formation and characteristics in an explanation of plate tectonics. While this allows for the inclusion of sophisticated information, the necessary simplifications could underscore common misconceptions. Bib.
