Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-7-A clear, competently written presentation of a strange subterranean world. After a brief general introduction to cave types and history, Gallant gets right down to the tightly focused, nitty-gritty, beloved of generations of report writers: how limestone caves are formed, their unique geological features, and the variety of critters that enjoy ecological niches in this otherworldly habitat. The author includes a chapter on the prehistoric art found in some of the caves and one on safety tips and respectful behavior when visiting these sites. All of the information is illuminated with a gracing of clear, full-color and black-and-white photographs and is rounded out with an extensive glossary, a list for further reading, and Internet resources. Paired with Wendy Davis's simpler, more visual and even more narrowly focused Limestone Cave (Children's Press, 1997), Gallant's careful construction will satisfy many needs. Accurate, informative, and serviceable.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
