32 pp. | Sylvan Dell | February, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-60718-131-6 $17.95 | Paper ISBN 978-1-60718-141-5 $9.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laurie O'Keefe. This story about how the destructive effects of a volcano are mitigated over time follows a gopher, whose natural digging behavior helps with the recovery of the habitat. Though the detailed art is realistic, the animals appear concerned then fearful as they run from the eruption. Information about volcanoes and tectonic plates, a quiz, and a couple of experiments are appended.
