It's so dark underground, you can't see the animals who live down
there - but with the help of your 'magic' torch, you'll get to
explore their hidden homes. Run with the rabbit into its burrow.
Follow the mole through its tunnels. Swim with the beaver to its
lodge. Swoop with the kingfisher into its riverbank nest. You'll
even discover how the extraordinary cockchafer is born and grows up
entirely underground. This title is part of the My First Discovery
paperback series - a unique collection of beautifully illustrated
information books for children aged 4 to 7, with simple language to

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.
