Another great Jump Into Science book. This is such a great series for learning about the earth and the solar system. This book presents volcanoes in a non-scary way. The information is straight and to the point without making kids feel anxious about volcanoes (I was terrified of volcanoes growing up). It discusses how people predict eruptions and some warning signs. As with the other books in the series, this one is a bit text heavy so I would recommend for older children or for it to be broken up between readings. Great, fun illustrations.There is also a fun volcano experiment at the end.Great educational read.
