An Island Grows, Lola M. Schaefer

A simple , clear treatment of a complicated subject. Cut paper illustrations follow the developement of an island from magma flow, through the coming of plants, insects, animals and people. Clear text and pictures make it easy to trace the development of the island from magma flow to populated island. A great candidate for sequencing lessons. A few more details are available in the back as well as a suggested bibliography.

Grades K-3

I like this title because is it such a simple presentation of a geological topic.It makes science accessible to very young readers and listeners. The rhyming text and simple pictures make it appealing to young children, while the details at the back should interest those a bit older.
