Competent primary school read about volcanoes, that tells us about their structure, lifespan and so on, either side of an atlas of some of the world's more notable ones, from Etna to Erebus and from Pinatubo to Pop-, Popocat-, that Mexican one. These are a uniform standard, where we get an introductory paragraph and databank, followed by several other paragraphs – and here the book slips up as the reading order is just out the window with these, quite regularly. Still, the visuals certainly have enough variety to stop this looking repetitive, and the details of all the major eruptions are diverse enough too. Therefore I'd want to give it four stars – if only the paragraphs weren't so scattershot and illogically placed. Three and a half, it is.

I'm a geology nerd so I was excited to see this book. This is such a great resource for learning about volcanoes, and it's engaging and easy to read. The book goes through different geographical areas, and it talks about famous incidents and what really happened. I had no idea how many active volcanoes there are, and the illustrations are fantastic. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

This is a cool idea that as someone who comes from a volcanic disaster science background was right up my alley. I think making a “kid friendly” atlas of this kind, explaining some of the science, history and mechanisms of these natural features is a really good idea, but I think this book largely misses the mark due to inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and questionable choices. It reads more as a poster made up of parts of a middle school essay.
I think overall the intentions of this book, and the accurate information presented, are nice. There are some good diagrams and some cool cover art. But a large amount of the information is presented in varyingly inaccurate, inconsistent, or seemingly unclear ways that it makes it rather poor as an educational book. I think significant revision of the material included, the language used, and the overall formatting of the book (so many things would work much better if simply included on different pages), before this book is ready to go.

Obrigada #Netgalley pela cedência do ARC.

A vulcanologia é a área da geologia que mais me fascina. (Tanto que costumo dizer que noutra vida fui Vulcanóloga...)
Ler um livro sobre vulcões, mesmo que seja um livro para um público mais jovem, foi interessante e educativo.

Gostei bastante!

The perfect book for the small scientists in the world. Easy to follow, highly engaging and wonderful pictures. Lots of information and facts about volcanoes around the world. Perfect for school libraries!

Volcano Atlas is a wonderful book for any kid interested in science or geology. Filled with captivating illustrations and hundreds of interesting facts, it’s a treasure trove of knowledge for young minds. Even as an adult, I found that I couldn’t put it down.

The layout is easy to read with a main facts box that is repeated under each volcano spread with pertinent information like type of volcano, size and number of eruptions. Other smaller boxes offer up other snippets of data. I appreciated the inclusion of mythology as well because it added to the richness of the stories.

This is a amazing book that I’d highly recommend for readers of any age.

This was a fun and informative read about volcanoes. It was very readable with great illustrations. I liked the way the book was designed as well to incorporate both text and illustrations. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

There are lots more volcanoes beyond the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean, even in Iceland and Antarctica. Here we learn how they work, types, features, the local and worldwide effects of their activity in the 64pp including a glossary and index.
The illustrations by Maggie Li are a variety of illustration/information styles which engages the mind and is easy on the eyes.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age (listed as 6-9 but I really enjoyed it and learned new things at 78!) including ESL, and great for gifting to EVERYONE, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library! Be sure to get one for yourself!

Join us on a fiery tour of volcanoes around the world! Each ferocious volcano is brought to life with fact files and labelled diagrams.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group & Netgalley for the digital ARC! I enjoyed reading this book and looking at the illustrations. There were some volcanoes that I knew about and then there were others that I didn’t know anything about. This is perfect for children who want to learn about volcanoes.

A look at volcanoes around the world! This was full on fun facts about volcanoes in general at the beginning and then it goes through various ones around the world. I learned a lot in this I didn’t know! I thought it was really interesting and still in an easy format for kids to understand. I also enjoyed the illustrations.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. So informative and visual, with a mixture of illustrations and photos explaining everything about volcanoes and those around the world.
This would be great to support classroom learning and for those with a special interest. I learned lots I didn't know in a reader friendly way
Highly recommend.

This was a perfect book for homeschooling for my girls. They loved reading about all the different volcanos and learned so many facts.

What a fun look at volcanoes! This book covers volcanoes around the world and has great pictures and trivia about them. I learned a lot about how volcanoes form, historic eruptions, and more! This would be perfect for any young science lover.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing, Tom Jackson, and NetGalley for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own.

As always, I am quite impressed with the book when it comes to providing detailed yet age appropriate information for the Quarto Publishing team.

This one is no different.

If you want to know and learn about volcanoes with fun illustrations and trivia, look no further! Just grab this one when it comes out. The adults and kids alike will thoroughly enjoy reading this book.

Thank you, words & pictures, for the ARC.

The art style is not exceptionally fresh or engaging but the content is fascinating, and is presented well.
It is not tiring, and engages a book with fascinating facts.
