When it's all sort of slapped down casually (splat! Archaeology! Splat! Fossils!) without much care, then it's much less interesting - there's no rhyme or reason or deeper story or narrative there to look into. It's 'just a kid's book', and that pandering, my friends, is precisely what I hated as a kid.

Takes readers on a journey to the centre of the earth, layer by layer, it's imaginatively conceived for budding geologists aged six and above' * New Statesman *Ik heb ook zeker een nieuwe illustrator ontdekt nu een van mijn bibliotheken zijn boeken blijft toevoegen. Namelijk Yuval Zommer. Ik had, tot dit jaar, nooit van hem gehoord, maar nu wil ik al zijn boeken. Hij kan echt prachtig tekenen. Hij heeft een heerlijke en leuke stijl. The Street Beneath My Feet written by Charlotte Guillain and illustrated by Yuval Zommer is an enchanting non-fiction book about what goes on underground. I was inspired to read this book by my six year old son. There has been a lot of digging work going on in our village recently. My son loves to wonder over to these massive holes and together we would peer down. He observed different coloured layers, spotted bits of broken glass and apparently he even spied a dinosaur fossil once! There followed many ‘why’ questions which I admitted not knowing the answers to. So together we embarked on some research with this wonderful book. I especially love The Street Beneath My Feet because it does not lose sight of it's big picture goal. There is a substantial amount of information but not so much as to detract from the contextual nature of the book. We clearly see how the layers interrelate. If you so wished, it is the perfect springboard to carry out more detailed research into specific underground layers or time periods. Indeed there are many cross-curricular links possible with this book especially geography, science, history or even DT.

Charlotte Guillainlives in Oxfordshire, UK. She writes fiction and non-fiction for children, including the picture book Spaghetti with the Yeti, which was shortlisted for Oscar's First Book Prize 2014 and has featured in CBeebies Bedtime Stories.
