Oh, the Lavas That Flow! All About Volcanoes

The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library

by Todd Tarpley, Aristides Ruiz (Illustrator), Joe Mathieu (Illustrator)

An introduction to one of the most awe-inspiring spectacles on Earth--with the Cat in the Hat as your guide!

With a little help from Thing One and Thing Two, the Cat in the Hat travels the Earth--and beyond--to introduce beginning readers to the science and history of volcanoes. From how they are formed to how they errupt, kids will learn why we wouldn't have rain, sleet, or snow without them; the difference between lava and magma; how most volcanoes are under water; and much, much more! Also included is a look at specific volcanoes from around the world (and Mars) including Mt. Vesuvius, Mt. Etna, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Krakatoa, Mt. Erebus, Castle Rock, Mauna Loa, and Olympus Mons. Perfect for nurturing a love of science and reading in a young child, this is a great choice for fans of the hit PBS show The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!

The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library is a nonfiction, unjacketed hardcover series that introduces beginning readers ages 5-8 to important basic concepts. Featuring beloved characters from Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat, the Learning Library titles explore a range of topics about the world we live in and include an index, glossary, and suggestions for further reading.

Learn about volcanos active and extinct with the Cat and the Hat.

[Allison · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's about volcanoes, the Cat in the Hat, AND it has rhymes. The perfect combo to read aloud to a volcano-obsessed 3-year-old!

[Villain E · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting, but I wish there was more science and less of a list of famous volcanoes.

[Helen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book about the different types of volcanoes (even in outer space) has a glossary and an index.

This was a cute introduction to volcanoes with the rhyming you’d expect from any Dr Seuss book.
