WILD & WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY: Volcanoes by Nell Cross Beckerman & Karen Chock

ABOUT THE BOOK
REVIEW
Combining gorgeous artwork, photographs, and exquisite poetry along with expository text, Volcanoes presents young readers with a thoroughly engaging experience. Fascinating from beginning to end, Beckerman highlights some of the remarkable characteristics of volcanoes. The poetic text makes this a great read aloud that will excite listeners & readers, while the expository text add interesting facts for readers who want to know more. Fun details such as "in 2018, a lava bomb the size of a bowling ball set a man's porch on fire' will keep readers turning the pages. The art with a few photographs integrated practically jumps off the page. The backmatter includes an author's note about a personal experience with volcanoes, an illustrator's note, a further reading list, and additional information about volcanoes. A great book for teachers and young readers fascinated by volcanoes. Highly recommended.
