The Street Beneath My Feet
The Street Beneath My Feet | Charlotte Guillain
6 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
This double-sided foldout book takes you on a fascinating journey deep underground. One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst the other side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the countryside. The scenes in the book, by the widely acclaimed illustrator Yuval Zommer, are continuous, so contrasting underground sections, from tunnels and pipes to burrowing creatures, layers of rock to the planet’s molten core, run seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, as well as Geology, Archaeology and Natural History, The Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore their world in a detailed learning experience. And its fold-out, ‘Laperello’ style, which extends to 2.5 metres in length, is great fun to spread out on the floor and really get involved!

This is a foldout that focuses on the journey to the center of the earth through many layers of rocks all the way to the core. On the way up, the book explores minerals, fossils and other items found in the earths layers before making it to the topsoil on the surface.

A great way to incorporate geography/geology into the classroom through liturate!

Published in 2017, this children's nonfiction book takes you miles underneath the earth in both rural and urban areas. The book is very unique in the way it shows underground because it folds out. Children are able to look at different artifacts, creatures, pipes, and layers as they explore deeper

What a neat picture book! It unfolds like this and then you re-fold it to go back up to the surface. This book unfolds to be about five feet! 😱
