A picture-book introduction to volcanoes

Seymour Simon’s introduction broadens the usual picture of a volcano: the book notes that these formations can occur as holes in the ground or beneath the sea, not only as mountain peaks. It also presents volcanoes as forces that both reshape landscapes through destruction and create new mountains, islands, and soil. Clear, simple text and full-color photographs support an overview of remarkable volcanoes around the world, with material that can also serve as a starting point for school reports.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 beginning to explore Earth science
  • Young readers curious about volcanoes and natural landscapes
  • Families or classrooms seeking an illustrated science introduction
