Pretty pictures (my almost-three-year-old daughter was especially impressed with the volcanoes, and warned me not to burn myself), but I found a couple inconsistencies in the text that make me wonder about its accuracy overall. I would have liked it if they had illustrated/described some of the processes on a molecular level. I found the presentation of the content too superficial.
