New ed. (1985, Crowell)
(4) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Megan Lloyd. Branley's excellent examination of shifting plates, and the work of geologists is updated with dramatic paintings that present eruptions and explosions as well as scientists at work (though, regrettably a few of the illustrations are misleading in regard to scale). The inclusion of the tired and scientifically weak baking-soda volcano experiment is disappointing.
