My older 4 homeschoolers read this when young。 （They are now ages 25-20！） I just read this to the middles and littles tonight。 It’s a classic。

Just finished reading “Pompeii， buried alive” written by Edith。 It’s the best historical book I’ve ever read。 Recommend for every children who are interested in history。 Before COVID 19 are widespread， I used to go there。 This book brings back memories。 Nostalgic。 Those were the good old days。 I hope to go there again。

I just found out on Goodreads the author inspired her mother to write Pat the Bunny， which was one of my first books。 She then wrote some more of them， like "Daddy's Scratchy Face。" I chose to read this to see how much detail it would go into about Pompeii。 I thought it was a good introduction to teach younger children about what happened to the village of Pompeii。 I just found out on Goodreads the author inspired her mother to write Pat the Bunny， which was one of my first books。 She then wrote some more of them， like "Daddy's Scratchy Face。" I chose to read this to see how much detail it would go into about Pompeii。 I thought it was a good introduction to teach younger children about what happened to the village of Pompeii。 。。。more

Review by grandson Andrew （age 8） This was a very interesting book， and it had good illustrations。 I like learning about history。 That must have been really scary。 I hope it doesn't erupt ever again。 Review by grandson Andrew （age 8） This was a very interesting book， and it had good illustrations。 I like learning about history。 That must have been really scary。 I hope it doesn't erupt ever again。 。。。more

Summer read with the kids。 This book was surprisingly repetitive and easy for a step up 4 book but it was informative。

Note: does include a page spread of drawings of a skeleton， a plaster cast of a victim， and a plaster cast of a dog who died in Pompeii。 The skeleton is a little creepy， mostly because its jaw is gaping。

Excellent children’s reader， vocab on 4th grade level。 Good pictures; carefully worded about all the death。

I enjoyed this book only during the commuting time this morning。 I knew next to nothing about the history of Pompei， so this story was interesting。

Age appropriate telling of what happened at Pompeii。 Some children may be frightened or anxious about the same fate happening to them， but we have technology now that helps us not be surprised so many lives can be saved， even if Vesuvius wakes up again。

I still remember this from my school years。 I suppose it was one of the first "disaster stories" I read， and the story of the discovery of Pompeii's ruins also highlights the fascinating rewards of archaeology （similar to Tut's Mummy: Lost。。。And Found）。 I still remember this from my school years。 I suppose it was one of the first "disaster stories" I read， and the story of the discovery of Pompeii's ruins also highlights the fascinating rewards of archaeology （similar to Tut's Mummy: Lost。。。And Found）。 。。。more

Grades 2-4Genre: Informational Non-fictionPompeii Buried Alive tells the story of how the volcano Vesuvius erupted and literally buried the whole town。 I think this book could help students learn of another culture and how/what a volcano is。 This book could also help teachers talk about fossils etc。 because of how the town was discovered in later years。 Overall， this book is an easy read and is interesting。

This book was part of my daughter's second grade LA materials。 She loved it！ My favorite part was that it actually gave her the pronunciations for the hard words。 So she was able to correctly figure them out on her own。 This was a great confidence booster。 This book also stemmed quite a few conversations！ Thankfully I have pictures from my travels that we could go to and discuss to expand the discussions。 The book also takes the reader from before the explosion to present day。 It is good for the This book was part of my daughter's second grade LA materials。 She loved it！ My favorite part was that it actually gave her the pronunciations for the hard words。 So she was able to correctly figure them out on her own。 This was a great confidence booster。 This book also stemmed quite a few conversations！ Thankfully I have pictures from my travels that we could go to and discuss to expand the discussions。 The book also takes the reader from before the explosion to present day。 It is good for the kids to see how scientists evaluate dig sites。 The book is a good one and I recommend。 。。。more

Very well-done， very nice illustrations。

Brief and simple look at the natural volcanic disaster that wiped out Pompeii all those years ago， and seems to have spawned books and movies of all types， usually with masculine characters and drippy leading ladies， but this one is just telling the tale and does not come with the same sense of melodrama。

I read this book a long time ago。 The date finished is just a vague guess。 The book gets five stars because I read it several times， and the story really stuck with me。 Great for elementary school ages。

My second-grade son found this book both interesting and exciting。 He also found he could read it on his own and fully comprehend it。 Perfect。

1。 This book for 2nd graders was sort of scary and I'm 31 years old。 （"When will the giant wake up again？"）2。 Pouring plaster into the holes to make human forms was awesome。3。 I was to visit Pompeii now。4。 When I read Vesuvius I automatically think of The Lego Movie。5。 Good job Pliny。6。 Also， the name of the book is terrifying。 BURIED ALIVEEEEEE。 1。 This book for 2nd graders was sort of scary and I'm 31 years old。 （"When will the giant wake up again？"）2。 Pouring plaster into the holes to make human forms was awesome。3。 I was to visit Pompeii now。4。 When I read Vesuvius I automatically think of The Lego Movie。5。 Good job Pliny。6。 Also， the name of the book is terrifying。 BURIED ALIVEEEEEE。 。。。more

This book is so cool。 It is about how the Pompeii volcano erupted and what was happening and how nobody knew what was happening。 And then what happened when the volcano erupted， they called it the sleeping giant awoke。 And it was such a cool book。 If you are interested in science and volcanoes I think you should read this book。 As you know， it is so cool。

This text recounts the event of the natural disaster when Vesuvius erupted in Pompeii back during BC times。 Readers get a glimpse of an average day when Pompeii was at its prime， at its final day， how it was rediscovered， and how it lives on today。 The text covers scientific explanations of the inner workings of volcanoes and conveys a cultural picture of ancient times by demonstrating: the role of religion， the social status of slaves， the operation of an outdoor market and regular social activ This text recounts the event of the natural disaster when Vesuvius erupted in Pompeii back during BC times。 Readers get a glimpse of an average day when Pompeii was at its prime， at its final day， how it was rediscovered， and how it lives on today。 The text covers scientific explanations of the inner workings of volcanoes and conveys a cultural picture of ancient times by demonstrating: the role of religion， the social status of slaves， the operation of an outdoor market and regular social activities。 While the text is historical and scientific in nature， the author does an excellent job of presenting the information in an exciting， storytold fashion with simplistic， yet descriptive language for young readers。 The lively illustrations greatly support the explanations in the text。 The recurring page-ending quote， "Nobody in the [ ] knew that something terrible was going to happen，" adds tension to the account to encourage the reader to keep reading to find out what in fact was going to happen。 This book could serve as a mentor text for a text-to-self writing prompt in which students discuss an event that took them by surprise， as well as a text-to-text prompt in which students could compare unexpected events that occurred in other stories they have read。 It could also demonstrate to young readers and writers how to add tension and suspense in a work they author。 This text could be paired with Volcanoes！: Mountains of Fire to further one's knowledge of volcanoes。 。。。more
