Earthquakes and Volcanoes

Young readers are fascinated by natural disasters, especially volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Because this book was developed in partnership with scientists working at the Smithsonian Institution, it contains the most fascinating and up-to-date information about how and why these devastating natural disasters occur.

Research Notes

“I work with scientists on many of the books I write, but for these books, I had direct access to some of the world’s top researchers. Thanks to their help, I was able to include cutting-edge research findings that young readers won’t be able to find in any other book written specifically for them."

Reviews

“Melissa Stewart’s thoroughly ‘kid friendly’ text, enhanced with colorful illustrations, photos and diagrams, makes Earthquakes and Volcanoes FYI an essential and highly recommended addition to school and community libraries.”
