About the Book
Originally published in hardcover in 2015 by Chronicle Books LLC.Book Synopsis
Now in paperback! This exuberant and lyrical addition to the award-winning Over and Under series unveils the wonders that lie hidden between stalks, under the shade of leaves, and down in the dirt. From the author-illustrator team behind Over and Under the Snow and Over and Under the Pond. Explore the secret realm beneath the dirt that brings the world of nature to life: Follow a young girl and her grandmother on a journey through the year planning, planting, and harvesting their garden--and learn about what's happening in the dirt to help make it all happen. Up in the garden, the world is full of green--leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt exists a busy world--earthworms dig, snakes hunt, skunks burrow--populated by all the creatures that make a garden their home. These secrets and many others are waiting to be discovered up in the garden and down in the dirt in this sweet children's book from Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal, the latest in their beloved series that offers kids a peek into hidden ecosystems. ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: Beautiful illustrations paired with an easy-to-follow storyline make this a great read for any early elementary school student, while a glossary of animals that live in, around, and under the garden enriches the reading experience.

2 Year Old Loves This Book!
5 out of 5 stars
- 4 years ago
My 2-year-old loves this book and so do I!! We read it every night and it's wonderful. The pictures are so detailed on every page and accurate. It's pretty long for a kid's book too, but we mainly look at the pictures. My kid has learned a lot of new words and connects what's in the book to what's outside in our garden. Also, the pages are a thick paper that's held up great to a rough toddler. If you're a gardener and want to foster a love for plants, bugs, and critters, then this is the book for your family.
