This award-winning, double-sided foldout book takes you on a
fascinating journey down through the layers of the Earth, all the
way to the planet's core and out the other side. *Picked by the
Guardian as one of '15 Modern Classics' books* When you're out
walking around, whether on the city streets or a country trail,
there's always so much to see and hear. But do you ever stop and
look down? Have you ever wondered what's going on deep in the
ground under your feet? There are so many amazing sights to see!
One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst
the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside. The
underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows,
layers of rock and the planet's molten core, each running
seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering
subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The
Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore
their world through a detailed learning experience. And its
foldout, laperello (or concertina) style, which extends to 2.5
metres in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore
over for hours. Explore even more of the world with The Skies Above
My Eyes (August 2018) and The World Around Me (October 2020),
companion books from the Look Closer series.
J.K. Rowling's success is beyond impressive. Few authors in history
have experienced anything like it. There are theme parks that
recreate the Potter world, multiple films, rock bands named for
Potter places and characters, websites dedicated to Potter lore,
and Quidditch teams around the world. This high-interest biography
details the fascinating life of the creator of the Harry Potter
books-J.K. Rowling. Developed by Timothy Rasinski and featuring
TIME content, this full-color nonfiction book includes essential
text features like an index, captions, glossary, and table of
contents. The intriguing sidebars, detailed images, and in-depth
Reader's Guide require students to connect back to the text and
promote multiple readings. The Think Link and Dig Deeper! sections
develop students' higher-order thinking skills, and the Check It
Out! section includes suggested books, videos, and websites for
further reading. Aligned with state standards, this text features
complex and rigorous content appropriate for students preparing for
college and career readiness.
