In a spare, rhyming text, Fleming invites youngsters to observe underground creatures, large and small, as well as their tunnels, burrows, food sources, and activities. Fleming's pulp-painting collage illustrations are rich with texture and color: soft green leaves, fuzzy white roots, and grainy brown soil. The pages hum with life and activity. Mammals, plants, insects, and rodents are all featured.
