This was a fun read for me. The subject of Mt St Helens has been artfully displayed in this book, which has excellent layout and design. The writing may be a bit advanced for the children of the local charter school where I picked this up. Although there is quite a bit one could learn by reading Mount Saint Helens: The Story behind the scenery. I learner a Ton from this book. Too bad this book was published before Mt St. Helens most recent eruption, where a huge column of solid rock come out of the caldera!

One detraction from this book is the copy editing. Just because a word is spelled correctly doesn't mean it is used correctly. Proofreader: Shame shame. shame.

[for-much-deliberation ...]

The entire Mt. St. Helens scenario has always been a most facinating one to me, I think this volume is one I'll definitely enjoy...
