Under Water, Under Earth by Aleksandra Mizielińska

Every page has been beautifully thought through and pieced together. It is a quite incredible dual book crammed with facts and information. There is so much in here that you will struggle to find covered in other children’s books. I love that this book focuses on the obvious topics, but also zooms in on some very unusual areas of the Earth and science. Under Water takes us on an exploration of the Coral Reef, the glorious pages about giants of the deep, submarines, sink holes, the titanic, buoyancy and everything else you can imagine that happens in water! The content contained within this book is mind boggling, it covers everything! Under Earth examines creepy crawlies, animals and plants (my favourite pages), tunnels, gas, electricity, sewage, dinosaurs and fossils, caves and much much more!

The two books meet, quite spectacularly, in the centre with the centre (of the Earth that is). On the other side we have Under Water, focusing on oceans, rivers and basically everything related to water you can think of. Under Earth is on one side, detailing various aspects of life on Earth and in particular underground.

It is also, and this is probably the most wonderful aspect of the book, double sided, a book of two parts. Opening the giant hardback front cover feels like lifting the lid on a treasure chest! And it certainly is, because Under Earth Under Water is full of readable treasure! Now where do I start with this? It’s a chunky one! Huge in fact, a proper coffee table read. It is Under Earth, Under Water by Aleksandra Mizielińska and Daniel Mizieliński and published by Big Picture Press. So, this is my first, of hopefully many, non-fiction book reviews. I promised to fly the flag for non-fiction here on the blog. In my previous blog post, which you can read here:
