By Raymond Bial
This was probably my favorite "dirt" book I read while I was compiling my text set. It is nonfiction but it describes things much more poetically than most nonfiction books for children. Beautiful and descriptive language makes it easy to see how dirt relates to our lives in an essential way. Even if you find most nonfiction books about dirt to be dull or boring, this book will definitely open your eyes to the rich, life-giving side of soil. Bial, an award-winning photo essayist, also offers a wide variety of vivid photographs, which help readers connect to the text even further.
Overall, I don't think I can say enough good things about Bial's work. It presents a lot of information in an interesting, enjoyable way.
