Summary:
This book is an informative book about volcanoes. A volcano is the biggest explosion in nature. 50 volcanoes erupt each year around the world. There are more than 500 active volcanoes in the world and more than half of these form the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. After a volcano
Personal Reaction:
I was really surprised about how many active volcanoes are on earth. There is a picture in the book showing where they are all located, which was interesting to me. Luckily in Oklahoma we don't have to worry about volcanoes.
Classroom Extensions:
1. I would create a volcano with the class.
2. It's a great book to teach about volcanoes and where they are all located around us.
