The Street Beneath My Feet (Look Closer)

Uniquely designed book and informative! I bought two as gifts (paired with gummy worms). Kids love!

We gifted this to our 4-year old for Christmas. He's been curious about fossils, bones and underground. This book is packed full of information and illustration. We've read over it in detail and in an overview. There's also something exciting about reaching the Earth's core in the spread and flipping the entire book to climb back out the other side. Both 4 and 6-year olds are sprawled out on the floor drawing what they see and simultaneously folding up the book so it looks like "dinosaur teeth" and jumping over it Evel Knievel style. I'd say it's a win on all fronts.

Answered lots of questions for my kids and they love how it unfolds across the floor!

This book is awesome! All 3 of my kids from ages 1-7 love this. Great for curious minds and helpful at promoting learning how there are intricate systems in nature and our man made society.

Good for a wide age range. The older kids will appreciate the science. The younger kids will have their imagination sparked. We love it.

This book is awesome. The pages fold up like an accordion and pull out. My three year old loves to look at it like a map. It teaches about the layers of the earth, the elements and soil beneath the streets As well as about drains and where the water goes. Such gorgeous illustrations.

I bought this for a 7 year old, who loved it. I'm 72 and want to buy another for myself

The illustrations really make the experience magical. My 4 year old won’t listen to the ‘story’ all the way through yet, it’s a lot of great information, but she has learned a lot from what she’s been patient enough to listen to.My only real criticism is the typography. All black text, sometimes on dark colorful background, not easy to read in low light. It’s sort of an afterthought to the illustration, and that’s a shame.
