Each turn of a transparent plastic page reveals a new world of surprises beneath gardens, forests, and riverbanks--and even in caves--in a book about life underground that features simple, factual text and colorful illustrations.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Two series entries that will pique the curiosities of young children. The spiral-bound format with its heavy slick pages and transparent overlays that further the discovery of "what's underneath" is attractive. The brightly painted illustrations show nature at its best. Text is minimal, used mainly to garner interest and as captions to the pictures. The Seashore introduces the different types of organisms found in tide pools. Under the Ground introduces wildlife ranging from moles to ants, as well as animals that live underground in different ecosystems such as the desert or a river bank. Two excellent introductions to nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exploring Fun!,
This review is from: Hidden World: Under the Ground (A First Discovery Book) (Spiral-bound)
My children, ages 3 and 4, love exploring the underground with the book's magic flashlight. They enjoy reading together and exploring on their own. This is by far the best First Discovery book series.

3.0 out of 5 stars
I have a slightly earlier edition,
This review is from: Hidden World: Under the Ground (A First Discovery Book) (Spiral-bound)
This series is a rip-off of the Eyewitness format for younger readers. It is most appropriate for ages 2-5.
This book suffers from its French origins. Hedgehogs don't mean much to American children, and the desert has camels in it, etc. It also doesn't stay focused. It strays off into bees, snails, ducks, herons, and butterflies, accidentally implying that they live or their eggs live in the ground. This book, like most in the series, isn't coherent, focused, or logical. It has fewer outright errors than the others and is pretty to look at, so I am still giving it three stars. Its value as a piece of nonfiction is limited, however.
