Description
Juvenile Nonfiction. Language Arts. Science. HTML: The cool story of volcanoes will intrigue kids and adults alike. Hot melted rock from the middle of our planet forces its way up through cracks in the Earth's crusts, exploding violently and sometimes unexpectedly in volcanic fury that can terrorize populations for months, even years. Anne Schreiber's narrative gives readers a little of the science, a little of the history, and a lot of the action. National Geographic photography fires the imagination on dramatic spreads alive with vivid images of lava, ash, molten rock, weird rocks, and steaming seawater..
Description
Photographs and text introduce different kinds of volcanoes, where they are located, how and why they erupt, and other interesting data about volcanoes.

great example of an informational text for kids first off because the text matches the photographs on the page. It is easy for kids to read and comes from National Geographic, which is a credible source. There is enough information for kids to start to really understand volcanoes and to give them a broad basis, but not too much to overwhelm or confuse them. Media: Photographs
