After my five-year-old daughter's inquisitive questions on what is under the sidewalk (my answer: "dirt"); then what's under the dirt? ("more dirt, and rock"); what's under the rock...and so forth, we decided to research the topic at the library. We found several good non-fiction books that had great pictures of the earth's layers and core, but the explanations were not very exciting to a young child. And then we found this book...it is so great! It is like taking a trip through each layer of earth, to the center, and out the other side. It kept both my girls griped as it explained exactly what one would find if she dug a hole right to the other side of the world. It's a total learning adventure!
