Ryan's Volcano Book

Ryan was being a stinker today so he got tossed in time-out for about 4 hours, and while doing his time, he wrote this fascinating book. Keep in mind he had no help at all, except Alyssa helped him spell the words (just kidding, she didn't). Sorry for the sideways pages - Blogger keeps autoformatting my pictures sideways regardless of what I do. If you know how to fix this or rotate pictures let me know.

Volcanoes Written by Ryan

Volcanoes are in Hawaii. (I'm sure they're in other places, but to keep it simple for him we've only told him about Hawaii.)

Volcanoes have Lava.

Volcanoes have a hole at the top.

Volcanoes are hot. (Not too many children's books I can think of that have a picture of someone falling into lava and burning up. I wonder why...)

Volcanoes can knock down houses. (I like this book - lots of violence)

Volcanoes absolutely are not cool. (In case you were wondering.)

Lava is melted rock. (Ah yes, nothing like a handful of melted rock.)

Lava is hot. (I guess this is showing the fire coming out of the lava.)

There are lava waterfalls. (I guess so. Would it be called a lavafall?)

I like volcanoes far away. (There's the sensible Ryan who always hides his face and once in a while peeks his head out.)

Volcanoes are good to me when they are far away from me.

Volcanoes can run out of lava at night. (I bet they didn't teach that to any of you in school, did they? Especially our resident geologist and volcano expert, Tammy.)

There can be lava in a Cave of Wonders. (Reference to the movie "Aladdin.")

I want to see some. (Once again, send money to the "Get Ryan Cross the Ocean Fund")

Then the volcano began to tremble. (He drew the last page first and started writing the book. All in all I'd say it should be a best-seller. Perhaps it might even be used as a school text book.)
