Volcano Rising By Elizabeth Rusch illustrated by Susan Swan*

There are many volcano books available to kids.  Despite that fact, Ms. Rusch and Ms. Swan have created an unique informational book for different ages.  The main text is quite simple and the full page collage pictures will appeal to preschoolers and Kindergartners.  On most pages there is a paragraph off to the side in smaller font with more information that make this book excellent for middle to upper age elementary children.

Text structures- diagrams, cross sections, labels, pronunciations, volcano vocabulary glossary, bibliography, and a "learn more" section.
Highly recommend.
