Opis

Children's Book for Grades 3-8; Encourages Kids to Dig into Gardening, Composting, and Science. Dusty Green is your average eleven-year-old boy, who enjoys his mom's cooking, playing with mud, and building his own "kingdom" outdoors. Getting the back yard ready for gardening is hard work. CAN worms be the answer for his garden? Learning about worms gives Dusty and Daisy -- along with readers -- a lesson in composting. And facts about recycling, native plants, accidentally introduced animals, and historical worm-worshipers are sprinkled throughout the story will help readers understand how important it is to take care of the earth, especially our soil. Digging Deeper is an illlustrated graphic content reader for children and adults alike with a green message: THINK, OBSERVE NATURE AND QUESTION Author Gina Bundy was inspired to write this book as she traveled across the country and met others who wanted to promote green thinking, gardening, and sustainability. Her son John Bundy created colorful, friendly illustrations that help children to appreciate that our soil is full of amazing creatures. For those who want to use it for education, each chapter connects to topics related to common core topics in science standards and contains prompts for reading, writing, and research for further educational angles. Of special note, the book contains a colorful illustration of the soil food web to teach about soil critters and organic gardening.
