5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 yr. old loves this book, April 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Volcano: Jump Into Science (Hardcover)

My son loves volcanoes and I had been searching for a book about vocanoes that was not too technical and more to his age level. This book is it, it is very entertaining, the pictures are great, and the "narrator" is a dragon; what more could a 3 yr old ask for? I also bought one of the Eywitness books and a video to go with this book and he has, by far, wanted to read this book more than anything else volcano related that we have.

This review is from: Volcano: Jump Into Science (Hardcover)

National Geographic puts out a great one with this book about volcanos. Photographs and illustrations bring all aspects of volcanos to life for young readers. A dragon leads the way and lots of science is presented in a fun exploration. An experiment is even included at the back of the book to finish off the fun.
