(3) K-3 What's Beneath series. Illustrated by Andrés Lozano. A direct-address text with short sentences and not-too-challenging vocabulary takes readers on an underground tour to introduce civil-engineering technologies, from underground power cables and subways to church crypts and skyscraper foundations. Oriented sideways, the uncluttered spreads include helpful illustrations, diagrams, insets, cross-sections, and "Did You Know?" sidebars. "Common Core Critical Thinking" questions are appended. Reading list. Glos.
