Description
Discover the world beneath your feet ...
This book journeys from Earth's core to the pipes and tunnels rumbling beneath us. Meet the amazing animals that carve out lives below our planet's surface - from burrowing owls and moles to gopher tortoises and wombats - and learn about the incredible relationship between tree roots and fungi. Explore underground houses and remote caves, and uncover buried cities and mysterious catacombs.
This engaging, entertaining and educational children's reference book explains how things work under the ground, from the wildlife you didn't even know was there to the science of soil. Discover fun facts about the history of ancient humans, caves, archaeological digs and the myths and legends that have built up around them.
Written by award-winning author Ben Lerwill and brought to life by Paula Bossio's beautifully quirky illustrations, The World Underground takes readers on an evocative and fact-filled journey through our hidden, underground planet.
