Unearth the glorious mysteries that lie beneath our feet with 15 fun
and fact-filled poems about soil--what it is, how it's made, and who
lives in it!
A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year
Named to the Texas Bluebonnet Master List
Spectacular vertical panoramas illustrating life underground accompany
15 funny, fascinating poems that explore dirt and the many creatures
that make their homes underground. Spiders, earthworms, ants, chipmunks
and more crawl across the pages, between stretching roots and buried
stones.
Chipmunk, for such a little squirt
you sure do move a lot of dirt,
you sure do dig your tunnels deep,
you sure do find some nuts to keep,
you sure do know your underground.
Chipmunk, you sure do get around.
This unique celebration of dirt-- what makes it, what lives in it, and
the many wonderful things the soil does to support life on our planet--
is a whimsical, cleverly-illustrated pick for kids who love animals...
or who just love playing in the mud.
