From Booklist:

Ages 5-8. From the Jump into Science series, this colorful book provides basic information about earthquakes: what they are, why and where they occur, how they affect buildings, and what children should do when they feel the earth shake.The scientific facts are well focused and simply explained. The last double-page spread presents a simple activity simulating an earthquake with a pan of sand and a brick or rock. Illustrating the text are dynamic ink-and-watercolor illustrations laid out in picture-book format. A lively, appealing presentation that lends itself to reading aloud. Carolyn Phelan
