Volcano!: Disaster

Cynthia Pratt Nicolson. Kids Can Press, $14.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-1-55074-908-3

Cynthia Pratt Nicolson's Volcano! blows the lid off of, among other things, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Vesuvius and Mt. Pinatubo in this informative offering. Designed to look like a newspaper, headline-grabbing titles announce chapters bursting with information and photographs about these famous blasters. Experiments help kids understand the power of volcanic eruptions; an index and glossary conclude the volume. (Oct.)
