Bookroo's summary

Dive into the depths of the Earth with a foldout book that reveals the hidden wonders beneath city streets and countryside trails. Explore tunnels, burrows, and the molten core in a seamless journey. This interactive experience blends geology, archaeology, and natural history, inviting children to uncover the mysteries beneath their feet. With its expansive eight-foot layout, it's perfect for spreading out and exploring the unseen world below.

From the publisher

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!
