(2) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Swan. The book opens with a magnificent mixed-media illustration showing a volcanic vent gushing steam, rock, and lava. The author then confronts a common misconception: "Volcanoes are not just destructive. Much more often, volcanoes are creative." Profiles of eight volcanoes illustrate her point. Each spread includes one sentence in large type that provides general information; smaller-type paragraphs provide detailed background. Reading list. Bib., glos.
