The new Top Ten series presents a wide range of subjects to children in a way that plays off of their innate sense of excitement and curiosity. The ranking of the top ten most explosive volcanoes is... unpredictable! Which volcano should be in first place? The one that makes the loudest boom? Or the one that shoots gas and ash the farthest? Are you sure? Flip through the pages of this book to climb the Top Ten and find out what volcanoes look like and why and how they erupt. Even if you think you already know everything, keep reading. Surprises are just around the corner - dangerous ones! The danger level will increase as we count down from ten all the way up to terrible number one! In each book, the text builds on common knowledge to unhinge unexpected facts and amazing realities about the world around us.
