Red hot rivers runs a glowing lava river down a dark slope at dusk and sets two illustrations beside it, one of lava breaking into rough chunks as it cools and one of it setting into smooth swirls, with a note that thick lava creeps slowly enough for people and animals to get clear. Hot water, on pages 16 and 17, leaves the eruption behind for a photograph of Japanese snow monkeys sitting up to their shoulders in a steaming spring heated by the ground beneath it, and adds that hot spring water heats swimming pools in Iceland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty two pages at about 5.9 by 8.0 inches, measured at Lexile 870L, written by Stephanie Turnbull and illustrated by Andy Tudor.
