Illustrated by
Wayne McLoughlin.
The formation of a limestone cave is powered by water that slowly carves out caverns inhabited by a variety of familiar and unfamiliar creatures. The story of this process is told in a rhythmic verse that maintains scientific integrity even in its expressive descriptions. The colorful illustrations are largely accurate, too. An author's note and pronounciation guide are included.
