Volcanoes

About the Book

Volcanoes are one of nature’s great wonders. For years, they can stand dormant, but once active, they can erupt in tremendous explosions of power. Marc Simont’s fascinating illustrations and colorful maps denoting volcano locations around the world are beautifully paired with Franklyn Branley’s clear, simple text.

This is a Stage 1 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explains simple science concepts for preschoolers and kindergarteners. Let’s-Read-And-Find-Out is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.

Supports the Common Core Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards
