Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Not only is it a lively tale of a hypothetical adventure, not only is it good science, not only is it not dated but rather reads as if it's new, but the writing style is almost poetic - it's got a bewitching cadence, with sentences of various lengths to match the progress through each section of the underground. McNulty knows that adults will appreciate how much of a pleasure it is to read aloud. And she & Simont know kids - the picture of the fire-proof submarine gives as much attention to lemonade and seat belt as it does to drill bit. Wonderful book for all children, parents, and those young-at-heart. 4.5 stars. How to dig a hole to the other side of the world by Faith McNulty Describes in detail what each layer of dirt/clay is til you get to the very bottom. Great audio book and I can imagine what the pages would look like. Especailly like the layer where gems are found. and shells...tells you what to expect when you reach the end. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). no reviews | add a review
