I picked up Going to the Volcano from my local library after being drawn to the bright, cheerful artwork on the front cover. My five-year-old loves making vinegar volcanos, so I would confident she would find this as exciting as the space stories I also picked up.
Going to the Volcano is a fun, rhyming story about a journey to a volcano with a colourful collection of characters. When they get there, their trip doesn't quite go as expected!
Ordóñez's artwork is distinctive and amusing, and I will definitely be on the lookout for other stories illustrated by him - they made this story a treat to read!
Every time we have read this book so far (and we've read it quite a few times already!) we have spotted something else in the artwork. The illustrations are so clever and busy, and you can read this story on repeat, following a different character's progress each time.
The story itself is also very funny - the front cover promises readers it's "so funny you'll erupt with laughter" and this was definitely true in our house.
Going to the Volcano is written by Andy Stanton and illustrated by Miguel Ordóñez
