Great series! Can't say enough good things about any books from Crabtree Publishing. Neil Morris' "Wonders of Our World" series from Crabtree Publishing breaks down environment into specific subjects so that appropriate focus can be given in each educational book. These books will prove much more memorable than competitors on the same subject because they blend simplicity with an effort to entertain: kids will find them bright, colorful, and appealing beyond the usual school applications -- The Midwest Book Review

Taken from Chapter 3: Dead or Alive? When a volcano has not erupted for thousands of years, it is said to be dormant, or "sleeping. " Such volcanoes may become active again. They often give off steam or have lava bubbling in their crater. Active volcanoes may erupt at any time, and there are about 500 of these in the world. If, however, a volcano has shown no signs of activity for thousands of years, it is considered to be extinct.

By A Customer
This review is from: Volcanoes (Wonders of Our World) (Library Binding)
I grabbed a whole bunch of volcano books from our local public library (because our little boy thinks volcanoes are "neat").This book was the best. It is so excellent that I decided to buy it.

This review is from: Volcanoes (Wonders of Our World) (Paperback)
I homeschool my 7 year old daughter. Before a recent family trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I did a unit study on volcanoes. This book was filled with great, easy to understand information. By far, the best book I purchased for the unit study!

Book Appeals to Wide Age Range,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Volcanoes (Wonders of Our World) (Paperback)
Sometime between 18 months and two years of age, my son suddenly became obsessed with volcanoes - I can't remember the exact trigger. I do remember going through a lot of books with him before finding this one, and it was the only one that appealed to him, at his young age. It has great photographs as well as informative illustrations that show him what goes on inside the volcano.
There is quite a bit of written information, especially about the different types of volcanoes, lava flows, and the rocks that are formed. My son found the drawings of the different rocks just as interesting as the pictures of explosions. When he is older, and able to read for himself, I see this book coming in handy for "research" papers. I recommend this to anyone interested in volcanoes, but I think homeschoolers doing unit studies will find it most useful. Although it might seem a bit much to buy a book at this level for a toddler, I think it is a great building tool to teach them that there is so much more than just explosions and hot lava.
