Volcano Books for the Classroom

On Wednesday I shared some activities to use when exploring volcanos – and how to decide if this is a relevant topic for your class. Today it’s all about the volcano books that will support this exploration. There are so many volcano books for children that are truly not written at a level young children can understand. The vocabulary, depth, and assumed prior knowledge is too much, especially for preschoolers. I was able to find some winners though! Here are the books that I recommend (all are affiliate links):

• The Magic School Bus Blows It’s Top
• National Geographic Kids Volcanoes!
• I’m a Volcano!
• Eyewitness Volcano and Earthquake
• Volcano Wakes Up!
