Incredibly well done picture book about volcanoes. Filled with great information, photography and infographics. I also love the use of fold-outs and flip-ups to extend the visuals to multiple pages. Great for any intermediate/ms science library.

Excellent introduction to volcanology, exploring types, formation, history and current effects of volcanoes. Awesome pull out sections of expanding pages to showcase some of the amazing facts about volcanoes.

With all of the different flaps that you can open. This book would be great to use if you were doing a project or writing a paper. It was very interesting just for me to read little things on the pages.
