"Across pages that "hum with life and activity" (Horn Book), Denise Fleming's trademark nubbly textured, paper-pulp illustrations show how much is happening deep in the dirt of a typical suburban backyard. They reveal what insects and a whole host of other animals (such as rabbits, turtles, dogs, frogs, and woodchucks) are up to underground, and a key to all the animals included in the illustrations appears in the back of the book for kids who want to take a second (or third, or fourth) look. Paired with Kate Messner's similar book Over and Under the Snow, Underground is sure to get children thinking about what they don't usually see."
