I highly recommend this book. It was very interesting. My six year old love it. He was a little afraid when it came to talking about people dying but was ok by the end of the book. But this book also allowed him to ask questions about volcanos. It gives a real good feel for the activity of a volcano and the risks people take by living my them. The only thing I wish is that they would have vocabulary lists in them so we could work on the words that are a little harder.
