Home >Een mooi, prachtig uitklapbaar boek wat je op een heerlijke reis meeneemt door de aarde, op naar de kern van onze planeet, en dan weer terug. A fantastically detailed resource. However, quite expensive considering the additional resources aren't included.

This very instructive book simply states each layer of the earth with various illustrations of the things which exists in each layer. We zien fossielen, mooie stenen, wortels, metro, dieren die een holletje hebben, we zien hoe dun sommige lagen van de aarde zijn. We mogen ook dingen tellen, wat ik een leuk extraatje vond. Look, I know it's a kid's book, but what I like to see in children's non-fiction is enough accuracy and realism to lead to probing questions or to at least foster some curiosity. 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. Ik heb hem dus maar over ons bed gedrapeerd zodat het boek niet beschadigde en zodat ik het goed kon lezen. Ik heb echt genoten van de reis door de aarde heen, op naar het heetste stukje en weer terug naar de koelte (al is het nou niet echt koel de afgelopen dagen, maar ach altijd koeler dan de kern van de aarde :P).what about WWII bomb shelters? Typical highrise building foundations - how far to they typically go? Car parks? As low as the subway, or lower? A foldout, concertina format creates a visceral sense of a journey to the center of the Earth....Zommer’s illustrations are a hive of subterranean activity, and Guillain’s captionlike bursts enthuse about everything readers are seeing."— Publishers Weekly Robo-parents Diode and Lugnut present daughter Cathode with a new little brother—who requires, unfortunately, some assembly.

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. Children are introduced to a variety of scientific ideas in the book, including plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, and fossils. The interconnection of the Earth's systems and the manner in which human activities can have an impact on the ecosystem are also highlighted. mining works and machines should have straight edges and stand out in sharp contrast to the natural world around itThis is an excellent book for parents & educators to use in teaching students 5 to 12 years of age about our earth.

A double-sided fold-out book that delves underground to reveal everything that happens beneath our feet, both in the city and the countryside. Playful, informative and with fabulous illustrations by Zommer.' * Huffington Post * Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments 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. The Street Beneath My Feet by Charlotte Guillian is a fascinating book about the ground beneath our feet - great for geography learning! 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.Ik weet niet zeker of het boek het lang zal uithouden in een bibliotheek, gegeven de lepollo en ook vanwege het stuk wat om het boek heen zit om alles bij elkaar te houden. Kinderen kunnen toch nog best hard zijn voor spullen (hoe vaak ik niet (half) vermoorde boeken zie in de bibliotheek). Dus ik ben blij dat ik hem nog helemaal nieuw uit de bibliotheek heb kunnen lezen voordat de destructie begon.
