Based on the globally beloved Floor Is Lava game, this playful book by children’s author Anton Babchuk tells a rhyming story about two kids home alone who hear a volcano eruption alert on TV — and instantly turn their living room into a lava‑filled adventure zone!
More than just a fun poem, this book packs learning into every page with clever “edu‑surprises” (educational surprises) woven right into the story.
What’s inside:

Six safe, easy indoor games — inspired by the kids’ boredom‑busting creativity, these activities let every child play along safely at home.
