Kids love volcanoes and they'll love this book. This book discusses two types of volcanoes and it explains the causes of eruptions. It talks about how and why scientists study volcanoes. The book offers explanations for the eruptions and how they differ. It also covers the benefits of volcanoes to our planet and to us.

The art work incorporates the words that describe the different eruptions, which gives a visual for the book. There's a section at the back listing famous volcanoes and volcanoes that changed history. The book has charts that show the science and inner workings of the earth and volcanoes. I also like that the book uses volcano vocabulary.
