Thunder Underground

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Josée Masse. Poetry and mixed-media cutaway art blend beautifully in this collection of gently connected verses about what lies under our feet. Tree roots and seeds, fossils and tunnels, a basement, and pirate treasure all take center stage by turns, in rhythms perfect for reading aloud. The concluding poem draws everything together, and the endnotes about each poem combine science with the author's observations and experience.
