Great soil review

This is an excellent book for all elementary age students, it is attractive to the young reader

Great book!

My kids and niece love this book and I love the hands-on approach it uses. The book begins with a quick experiment that helps the kids visualize what the book will be talking about. It helps kids understand why dirt is so important and explains how bugs and worms help too. The illustrations are wonderful and that is what usually engages children from the get-go. The book would be great for classroom use as well and a good introduction to table of contents, glossary, and index.
