An iirresistible account of a child?s imaginary 8,000-mile journey through the earth to discover what?s inside. Facts about the composition of the earth are conveyed painlessly and memorably. The illustrations are bright and fun. Find a soft place. Take a shovel and start to dig a hole. So begins your trip through the center of the earth. You will have to dig about 8,000 miles to get to the other side of the world, and you'll need the latest equipment. As you dig, you may find fossils, or diamonds and emeralds, or even stroke oil. There will be problems, too - underground geysers and volcanoes and white-hot heat. But what a wild adventure!
