The first book in a gorgeously illustrated new natural science series for children, produced in collaboration with the National Trust. You'll never look at soil the same way again!
What's the point of soil? What's it ever done for us? From hosting billions of worms to minibeasts and microbes, to being the home of fungi that could allow trees to talk, to providing enough nutrients to feed a planet . . . soil is a muddy, magical, marvellous miracle!
Includes a FREE Nosy Crow Stories Aloud® audiobook! Scan the code, hear the story.
