This book is a perfect introduction to volcanoes for K-2 level kids, and older kids or early readers may enjoy reading them alone. It is easy to understand and the illustrations are clear and nice-looking. Unlike some science books for kids, this series tends to be very readable, versus a drier text that may make some kids lose interest quickly.

This book not only provides beautiful photographs, but good comprehensive information too. The material is accessible and thorough and is enhanced by the stunning photography. If you're looking for basic information, this is a great resource.

I bought this for my almost 4 year old for Christmas and he loves it. We have read it 3 times a day everyday since Christmas. We went to Volcano National park, Hawaii a few weeks ago and he just fell in love with volcanoes. Definately a must have for your little science lover.

The book was very good. My son just started second grade and he loves science. The book kept him very interested throughout. He has read it more than 5 times and continues to ask questions about the different new concepts that were introduced in the book.
Very good purchase!

I love, love, love the paintings in this book. Megan Lloyd's illustrations are a delight to look at, a lovely marriage of scientific illustration and wonderful brushwork. They have so much more warmth than the terrible computer-generated images in so many science books for kids. I think there is a good balance between stories about volcanoes and scientific information. And I appreciate that it's not over-PACKED with information in sidebars, highlight windows, starbursts, and check-it-outs so that you hardly know where to look. My 3 1/2 year old is OBSESSED with volcanoes, and this has been checked out from the library enough times that I decided to buy a copy.

My 4.5 yr son *loves* this book. He's been wild about Volcanoes for about a year now. This book may not have pages of detailed info (if you're looking for that get your child a volcano encyclopedia), but it has a some good facts and some pretty good pictures. It's also easy enough for him to read himself.

Compared to other "Let's Read and Find Out" books, this one was dull, had dull historical facts that would not appeal to a youngster.

Another superb title from the let's read and find out series. My 5 yr. greatly enjoys it, and is learning a great deal from it.
