Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-04 00:00:00 Kevin Johnson jr This non-fiction book for children describes how volcanoes are formed and the work of volcanologists using real world examples from the eruption of Mount St. Helens. I'm using this book with a second language learner who has already read one book on Mt. St. Helens and wants to continue to use and expand the vocabulary she has acquired. This book has enough drawings and photos to illustrate the concepts. The vocabulary is fine, but the sentence structure is a little clipped. It's a conversational style rather than a written one, which makes it less accessible to language learners who have studied English predominately through reading and writing.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-10 00:00:00 Danielle Butigieg This children's book tells the story of Mount St Helens, and in particular the 1980 eruption. The book was given to me to read by my granddaughter who was excited about it. She read some parts to me, and I then read the book myself. Because we had visited the area on vacation in the past, it had a personal connection with her. A vote of approval by a child for a children's book is one of the best votes you can get. Interesting book and colorful drawings.
