Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - 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. Explore even more of the world with The Skies Above My Eyes (August 2018) and The World Around Me (October 2020), companion books from the Look Closer series. 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.

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. Ik was al verliefd op dit boek door de cover, dus hij moest mee uit de bibliotheek. Maar toen kwam ik thuis, klapte het boek open, en zag dat het boek een leporello was. Je kunt het boek helemaal uitklappen tot een 2.5 meter lange kaart die je dan van boven naar beneden en dan weer terug (want de achterkant heeft ook nog de reis terug, met nog meer informatie en andere leuke dingen die je kunt vinden in onze aardbodem) kan lezen en ontdekken. Echt, mijn vriend en ik waren helemaal verbaasd vooral omdat er niet een einde aan leek te komen toen we hem uitklapten.
