      Ať kráčíme po rušné ulici, nebo se procházíme lesem, je stále co pozorovat. Napadlo vás ale někdy zastavit se a podívat se dolů? Co se skrývá pod šedou vrstvou asfaltu? Jaký svět se rozkládá pod krásně zelenou trávou? Vydejte se s námi na objevitelskou výpravu z povrchu Země až k jejímu žhavému jádru. Ponořte se do jejích hlubin a prozkoumejte svět, který nevidíme. Zjistíte, že je stejně bohatý a pestrý jako ten na povrchu a že ukrývá tajemství, o nichž jste neměli ani tušení.

      This double-sided foldout book takes you on a fascinating journey deep underground. One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside. The underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows, layers of rock and the planet's molten core, and run seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore their world through a detailed learning experience. And its fold-out, 'laperello' style, which extends to 2.5 metres in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore over for hours.
