A big book of the underground

written by Stepanka Sekaninova & illustrated by Marta Daeuble

If you think that underground is just pitch-black soil with no sign of life, you should think again. All kinds of things go on in the ground. Roots feed plants, moles hunt worms, worms flee from moles, carbon forms coal and miners work and extract what we need. If you don't believe me, you should go down there with me, all the way to the very core. But will you be brave enough? Besides, there's a danger that you'll like it so much, you won't want to come back up. The illustrations, fold-out pages and details of life beneath our feet are enough to make your head spin
