Under Ground
UNDER GROUND by Denise Fleming. Beach Lane, 2012.
Start with the gritty looking collage art made from materials Fleming creates. Add some wonderful word play: "squirm-ways and worm-ways", and the combination is this book about what goes on underneath the surface of the ground. Back matter includes a list of the animals in the book and information about each. Great for an introduction to soil, plants, animals, gardens, and more.
