The Dirt Book: Poems about Animals That Live Beneath Our Feet is the latest picture book by David L. Harrison and Kate Cosgrove.

Dirt! It's made of chipped rocks, decaying animals, fungi and germs. It's food for plants and home to animals of all kinds. Printed in an inventive vertical format, 15 poems explore the underground lives of earthworms, spiders, ants, chipmunks and more. Spectacular art is oriented for an extra-long view to better depict life down deep.

The book is available in store for $18.99 plus tax. Signed bookplates will also be available.
