Overview
Dirt! It's made of chipped rocks, rotting plants, decaying animals, fungi, and germs. It's food for plants and home to animals of all kinds.
15 poems explore the underground lives of earthworms, spiders, ants, chipmunks, and more.
Chipmunk, for such a little squirt
you sure do move a lot of dirt,
you sure do dig your tunnels deep,
you sure do find some nuts to keep,
you sure do know your underground.
Chipmunk, you sure do get around.
Spectacular art is oriented for an extra long view to better depict life down deep.
