Field Trip to Volcano Island in Bloomington, MN

A wordless picture book adventure takes a group of students to visit a thrilling volcanic island.
Perfect for fans of
Field Trip to the Moon
,
Field Trip to the Ocean Deep
, and field trips in general!
John Hare’s rich, atmospheric art invites all children to imagine themselves in the story – a story full of surprises and adorable new friends.
The same students we met in
and
travel to a volcano island on a yellow school bus helicopter. When they get there, one student picks flowers as they hike to the top and then accidentally slips down a crater and can’t get out.
The student isn’t too worried—especially when he meets a lava monster and its children who are fascinated by the flowers. But when they touch them, they burn beyond recognition so the student teaches them how to make a vase using lava from a lava pit, fills it with water from a canteen, and they all sit back to enjoy the flower arrangement until help arrives and rescues the student.
