Volcano
Claire Saxby and Jess Racklyeft
- Reading
- Read it as a conversation-led science book: pause over unfamiliar terms, invite predictions about what may happen next, and ask what the illustrations add. Revisit any striking imagery afterwards.
- Themes
- Volcanic formation: The book addresses volcanic formation; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The subject is presented as a natural process to observe, with vivid imagery rather than a confirmed judgement about its danger or value.
- Life in the deep ocean: The book addresses life in the deep ocean; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The animals make the event feel alive, but the available text does not show whether their experience is explored, explained or resolved.
- Worth knowing
- Look at the illustrations together if needed.
