The secret life beneath our feet
Did you know that dung beetles dance around on poop, that spiders dress up as ants, and that some snails defend themselves by making farting sounds? A single gram of soil is home to more organisms than there are humans on our planet. Moles, worms, isopods, fungi, and trillions of tiny creatures ensure that plants grow, water stays clean, and poop is turned into valuable nutrients. They loosen the soil, recycle waste, and are secret heroes of life! Without healthy soil, we wouldn’t have clean air, clean water, or food.
Learning isn’t only fun, it also makes you smart. So, off to the depths of the soil! Witty dialogues and surprising facts and experiments make this book an adventure for the whole family.
