Volcano: The Eruption and Healing of Mount St. Helens"This spectacular book; Lauber's narrative describing the eruption, aftermath, and gradual return of life to the Mount St. Helens slopes devastated by the 1980 eruption is anchored with stellar color photographs that show each phase of the destruction and healing . . . This is a substantive explanation backed by superb book design".--Booklist, starred review. Newbery Honor Book; ALA Notable Children's Book, Booklist Editors' Choice. |
