Digging is one of those universal childhood things. You dig and speculate about how far you can go, what you'll find, and how long it will take. A new children's book Under the Ground takes a look from a little way down to the center of the earth. Along the way children explore plant roots, utilities, fossils, and a center so hot "the rock melts into red gloop." Add to this the super illustrations that are both informative and friendly. I especially like the end pages, which I know are just the inside flaps, but they're swirly and colorful.
