Book Review: Book Appeals to Wide Age Range
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
