Description
This book discusses the nature, uses, and importance of soil and the many forms of life that it supports.
Quick Summary
This book turns the ground beneath kids' feet into a wonderland of wiggling worms, busy beetles, and hidden tunnels waiting to be explored. Readers will love discovering why dirt is basically a giant apartment building for billions of tiny roommates, from decomposer cleanup crews to root-friendly fungi. If your kid loves the squirmy, hands-on science of "Let's-Read-and-Find-Out" books or the nature surprises in "The Magic School Bus," they'll want to get their hands dirty with this one. Perfect for curious kids in grades K-2 who are ready to see the amazing world happening right under their noses and feet.
