Awsome Book!

VOLCANOES!!! This book can tell you where, how, when, and why the volcanoes erupt. Do you want to know how they are formed? Well, you can find out in this book. Apparently, right now we could be standing on something that used to be a volcano. Did you know there are different types of volcanoes? From Cinder Cones to Dome Volcanoes, this book is a great source of volcano information. I enjoyed reading this book because it has some really cool facts that I didn't know before. My favorite part was a picture of lava that was burning down a building. I loved the large number of photos that were throughout the book. I thought that the writer did a great job explaining volcanoes and I learned a lot. One thing that bothered me was that there wasn't a glossary or an index. If you are interested in volcanoes, this book is a good fit for you.

Informative

Although this is a relatively short book, it is jam packed with good information. There is a lot to be learned within this book. The illustrations are great also!
