A sleeping volcano begins to stir and eventually erupts. This engaging informational picture book is told from the perspective of the volcano and follows the volcano as it goes from dormant to active. The main text from the volcano is large and one sentence to a page, attainable for young readers. The reader learners more scientific information from a bird on each page of the book. The reader is introduced to scientific vocabulary through the bird’s narration. The cartoon illustrations are colorful and vibrant. The back matter contains phases of a volcano, anatomy of a volcano, common types of volcanoes, and resources.

This review applies to all of Bellwether’s Epic Cool Cars series. I like this series. It’s a solid choice for any library with patrons with limited reading ability and an interest in high-end sports cars. They provide a solid amount of information in a predictable format, with a lot of supports for those who may struggle with reading: the photos and diagrams support the text; vocabulary words from the glossary are highlighted in green; glossary definitions are clear and specific to the context. The topic will be of interest to a lot of readers. Even as someone not particularly interested in sports cars, I can declare I found them interesting and informative. The Diamondback binding is sturdy enough to stand up to extensive library wear. The graphics and design add appeal to the target audience without distracting from the content. My only criticism is directed at the marketing blurb in the front of each book opposite the the Table of Contents: in proclaiming in advance that Epic books “burst with intense action, high-speed heroics, and shadows of the unknown,” they rather over-sell themselves unnecessarily. I didn’t notice much in the way of heroics or action or shadows of the unknown, but I did find a lot of solid and interesting information.
