NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Crown (Random), 2022. $18. 9781524773083 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

From his earliest days, Alexander loved all things about the outdoors. He gathered specimens and made connections. In 1799 he joined a Spanish ship journeying to South America, where he could make even more discoveries and forge connections, including his discovery of a volcano chain and climbing volcanoes. 

Includes quite extensive backmatter. A solid support book for a unit on exploration, South America, or even early surmises about the earth’s crust. Novgorodoff is very enthusiastic about her subject.
