An award-winning nonfiction author offers the youngest explorers a closer look at nature's wonders in action.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRocks crumble, battered by ice, wind, and water. Plants wilt, trees fall, and old bones, fins, and feathers break apart. What then? Step by step, Sally M. Walker's simple narration lets the youngest soil scientists learn how dirt is created, becoming home to animals as well as conduits for nutrients that help to continue the life-giving cycle. Kim Smith's inviting landscapes capture a range of forest flora and fauna, from mushrooms to pinecones, foxes to chipmunks, birds to snails. A note to parents suggests bringing the learning to life by encouraging questions and observations of the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Board Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mit Kids Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536236576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2026 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sally M.
