Tierra / Dirt

Young readers get down in the dirt with a friendly star-nosed mole as he shows off the different parts of his garden and some amazing creatures who live in the dirt. During this exciting tour, children discover what soil is, how it is formed, and why this substance is vital to plants, animals, and humans. Colorful art and lively text teach youngsters about the different kinds of soil, and show why this precious resource must be conserved. Originally published in English by National Geographic as "Dirt," a volume in the acclaimed Jump into Science series, Tierra will engage and inspire readers aged 4-8. Readers will also want to look for other titles in the "Descubre la ciencia" series, published by Stampley in association with National Geographic.
