Thunder Underground (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781590789360)

In this collection of poems that's a science, poetry, and adventure story all rolled into one, noted children's poet Jane Yolen takes readers on an expedition underground.

This thought-provoking collection will evoke a sense of wonder and awe in readers, as they discover the mysterious world underneath us. Kids will explore everything from animal burrows, to human creations -- like subways -- to ancient cities and fossils. Even deeper down, there are caves, magma, and Earth's tectonic plates.

In these poems, young readers will see that beneath us are the past, the present, and the future.
