About the Author

LELA NARGI writes about science for kids for publications like Muse, Science News for Students, and Highlights. She's also the author of The Honeybee Man, a picture book about an urban beekeeper that takes place in her home borough of Brooklyn, New York, and Above and Beyond, a middle grade companion book to the exhibit of the same name that originated at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, about the history and future of flight.

Contributor and expert ARIANNA SOLDATI was born in Milan, Italy. By the time she turned three, she was already hooked on volcanoes -- and she still is! She is now a Ph.D. candidate, a.k.a. a volcanologist in training, at the University of Missouri. While studying lava flows, Soldati got the chance to do extensive field work all over the world (from California to Central America to the Indian Ocean), sometimes witnessing volcanic eruptions as they occurred. She also spends a lot of time in the laboratory making her own lava (aka remelting rock samples) and sharing her findings with both other scientists and the general public.

Bough for my preschooler who recently became obsessed with volcanoes and other earth-science things. Great book with lots of pictures and facts. Nat Geo does a great job with their kids series and this one didn’t disappoint.

This book is loud and busy. It has lots of bold text with vibrant colors. The information is broken up into smaller boxes across the pages making it easier to read and digest. My 4 year old loves it and I rather enjoy reading it to him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where are volcanoes found?
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018
In some places people learn to live with tornados, earthquakes, fires and floods, but could you live in a place where volcanoes can erupt at any moment? This guide will answer all of your questions. Readers will learn where active volcanoes are, how they are made, how to live with them and how scientists navigate around them on land and under the water.

Did you know that the moon has volcanoes? Researchers discovered lava tubes running under the surface. Did you know that there are tiny organisms like Methanopyrus Kandleri that can live and survive in the extreme heat of a volcanoe? A volcanoes lava erupst black, dries white, and then turns into powder. This guide has some amazing survival stories too. There is a system that was designed to measure the strength of a volcanic blast it is called Volcanic Explosivity Index or VEI.

Readers who are curious about volcanoes will find amazing photos, illustrations, activities to create an eruption and even more resources for eager scientists. Parents and teachers will love this guide for any library. It’s small size is great for travel too.
