The Street beneath My Feet

Charlotte Guillain, illustrated by Yuval Zommer

This double-sided foldout explores what lies underground beneath cities and countryside. Its continuous scenes move through tunnels, pipes, burrowing animals, layers of rock, and the planet’s molten core. One side shows the ground below a city, while the other shows the countryside below. Written by Charlotte Guillain, the book extends its underground journey all the way to Earth’s center.

Cover of I’m Just No Good at Rhyming and Other Nonsense for Mischievous Kids and ImmatureI’m Just No Good at Rhyming and Other Nonsense for Mischievous Kids and ImmatureChris HarrisChris Harris’s poetry collection uses nonsense, wordplay, and visual and verbal surprises to turn familiar expectations upside down. Its poems approach the world through wit and playful tricks rather than conventional verse. One poem begins with a speaker admitting difficulty with rhyme, while another considers the possibility of holding a gecko. The collection makes room for poems that are deliberately odd, mischievous, and unexpected.All AgesOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
