Underground Illustrated by Josee
Masse PICTURE BOOK Wordsong, 2017. $17.95
Content: G.
This is a collection
of poems that have to do with the word “under”.
Some of the poems are about insects or animals that live underground,
roots, lava or other natural elements. And
some of the poems are about people underground in subways, tunnels, and archaeology. There are also poems about
things that are buried underground such as treasure, fossils and caves. The last poem has two kids sitting under the
night sky.
This is a great book of
poetry that also feeds the curiosity of young readers and the world beneath
them. The poems have interesting facts
and at the end of the book there is a key that explains more about what
scientists know of those underground worlds.
The illustrations are well done and my kids loved this book.
