The Street Beneath My Feet written by Charlotte Guillain and illustrated by Yuval Zommer is an enchanting non-fiction book about what goes on underground. I was inspired to read this book by my six year old son. There has been a lot of digging work going on in our village recently. My son loves to wonder over to these massive holes and together we would peer down. He observed different coloured layers, spotted bits of broken glass and apparently he even spied a dinosaur fossil once! There followed many ‘why’ questions which I admitted not knowing the answers to. So together we embarked on some research with this wonderful book. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The Street Beneath My Feetoffers children the opportunity to explore their world through a detailed learning experience. And its fold-out, 'laperello' style, which extends to 2.5 metres in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore over for hours. About This Edition ISBN:

A double-sided fold-out book that delves underground to reveal everything that happens beneath our feet, both in the city and the countryside. Playful, informative and with fabulous illustrations by Zommer.' * Huffington Post * Ik heb hem dus maar over ons bed gedrapeerd zodat het boek niet beschadigde en zodat ik het goed kon lezen. Ik heb echt genoten van de reis door de aarde heen, op naar het heetste stukje en weer terug naar de koelte (al is het nou niet echt koel de afgelopen dagen, maar ach altijd koeler dan de kern van de aarde :P). which gemstones and why? Which ones occur together/nearby? This is easy - cluster some on the left, some on the right and explain reasons. Leads to more questions. Think "Corundum" and go from there.... Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc.)? Charlotte Guillain lives in Oxfordshire, UK. She writes fiction and non-fiction for children, including the picture book Spaghetti with the Yeti, which was shortlisted for Oscar’s First Book Prize 2014 and has featured in CBeebies Bedtime Stories. The Street Beneath My Feet, Charlotte’s first title for words & pictures, was shortlisted for the UKLA Book Awards 2018 and named an ALSC Notable Children’s Book 2018 in the All Ages category, as well as being selected by the Guardian as one of 15 ‘modern classics’.The Street Beneath My Feet by Charlotte Guillian is a fascinating book about the ground beneath our feet - great for geography learning! Een mooi, prachtig uitklapbaar boek wat je op een heerlijke reis meeneemt door de aarde, op naar de kern van onze planeet, en dan weer terug. This is an informative fascinating book describing-the many layers of earth and what "lies beneath our feet"!Written with children in mind, many adults will find this fascinating as well!

A 2018 Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students: K-12 (National Science Teachers Association and the Children's Book Council)— NSTA-CBC From the Publisher After graduating from the Royal College of Art and persuing a successful career in advertising, Yuval Zommer transitioned to his true love of illustrating with his widely acclaimed debut picture book, The Big Blue Thing On The Hill (Templar, 2015), hotly followed by One Hundred Bones (Templar, 2015) and The Big Book of Bugs (Thames & Hudson, 2016). A wee bit disappointing, and I'm not sure what it is precisely. Light on content (pictures are more central than the text), and the illustrations... I just gave another of Yuval Zommer's books, The Big Book of Blooms, 5 stars, but this... it's almost as if his style was not the right one for the subject here (though simply lovely for plants and flowers and living things). Explore even more of the world with The Skies Above My Eyes (August 2018) and The World Around Me (October 2020), companion books from the Look Closer series. Ik was al verliefd op dit boek door de cover, dus hij moest mee uit de bibliotheek. Maar toen kwam ik thuis, klapte het boek open, en zag dat het boek een leporello was. Je kunt het boek helemaal uitklappen tot een 2.5 meter lange kaart die je dan van boven naar beneden en dan weer terug (want de achterkant heeft ook nog de reis terug, met nog meer informatie en andere leuke dingen die je kunt vinden in onze aardbodem) kan lezen en ontdekken. Echt, mijn vriend en ik waren helemaal verbaasd vooral omdat er niet een einde aan leek te komen toen we hem uitklapten.A) This book is about the underground like the sewer, electricity cables, living things, water pipes, etc. Under the umbrella of things beneath your feet, there are multiple parts. Throughout the book, it goes into detail a few main parts of things below the ground that effects the above ground world. Ik heb ook zeker een nieuwe illustrator ontdekt nu een van mijn bibliotheken zijn boeken blijft toevoegen. Namelijk Yuval Zommer. Ik had, tot dit jaar, nooit van hem gehoord, maar nu wil ik al zijn boeken. Hij kan echt prachtig tekenen. Hij heeft een heerlijke en leuke stijl. everything paleological or archaeological should be the most common denominator: what's the most common artefacts of the era? Roman coins stand up well (coin hoards would have been cool in foil!), arrowheads/napped flint.
