This collection of poems by Jane Yolen is beautifully
combined with colorful illustrations by José Masse that will help the reader
grasp a better understanding of each poem. As readers progress through the book
they will learn about subway travel, tree roots, seeds, lava, moles and my
favorites, underground rivers and spelunking. The final poem in the book ties all
of the poems together for the reader and provides a satisfactory ending.
This is a beautiful poetry book that can be used at all
levels of instruction. The poems are so lyrical and crisp that enjoyment is a
certainty. The book can be used in many ways
in different libraries. It would be an excellent addition.

that will inform young readers about what they can find underground. José Masse
illustrates the pages with colorful supporting graphics.
