Question:
I am Dee currently directing an after school program, K-5. We will be investigating underwater volcanos and possible islands formed by volcanos. Can you recommend any books or web sites that would be useful for this age group?

Volcano World is a great site to use.

I suggest you take a look. I have used this site for many years and highly recommend it.

There is also a spot for kids at:

There are all sorts of things for the kids there.

The book "Volcanoes" by Robert Decker and Barbara Decker (publisher: W.H. Freeman) comes with beautiful photos on a CD. It should meet your needs quite well. You will have to do some simplifying for grade level, but the pictures are awesome.
