The Dirt Book: Poems About Animals that Live Beneath Our Feet
David L. Harrison
This illustrated collection contains fifteen poems about soil: how it forms and the creatures that make their homes below ground. The poems focus on the world underfoot, bringing attention to animals living in dirt and the materials that create soil. Kate Cosgrove’s illustrations accompany the poems, and the book’s vertical format is part of its presentation. Together, the pieces explore underground life through poetry and facts about soil.
