A companion to the new Over and Under the Pond and the beloved Over and Under the Snow, this sweet exploration of the hidden world and many lives of a garden through the course of a year "could not be more lovely," according to the Washington Post. Up in the garden, the world is full of green—leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt there is a busy world of earthworms digging, snakes hunting, skunks burrowing, and all the other animals that make a garden their home. In this exuberant and lyrical book, discover the wonders that lie hidden between stalks, under the shade of leaves...and down in the dirt.

"I’m going to use this book in my K-2 Forest School classroom. So much to discover here! I had to order more of the series, as well as another one of this title, so my students could buddy read it together.
It is on the surface a simple story, but you can read it again and again just looking at the artwork.
How many invertebrates can you find? Can you draw a plant above and below the dirt? Draw/write about one thing that happens in each of the four seasons. Use play dough to make some of the creatures found in the book... or to make a model of a life cycle or a food chain you see. See what I mean? This book is packed! I don’t need textbooks in my classroom when books like this are so much more inspiring!

- I’m going to use this book in my K-2 Forest School classroom. So much to discover here! I had to order more of the series, as well as another one of this title, so my students could buddy read it together.
It is on the surface a simple story, but you can read it again and again just looking at the artwork.
How many invertebrates can you find? Can you draw a plant above and below the dirt? Draw/write about one thing that happens in each of the four seasons. Use play dough to make some of the creatures found in the book... or to make a model of a life cycle or a food chain you see. See what I mean? This book is packed!

-Karen - I bought this book for my 4 year old twins since it is now time to start planting out garden. It has lovely illustrations and a cute story that takes you through the life cycle of the garden by season. The book seems more durable than most paperbacks with thicker pages and a more durable cover. I bought a second one as a gift for another child I liked it so much. You can't go wrong with this book!
- Beautiful, poetic, magical, and educational. A huge fan of Over and Under the Snow by the same author/illustrator duo, this follow-up does not disappoint. It's just gorgeous and my two year-old daughter and I instantly fell in love with their work, again.
Perfect to add to your collection if you are particularly fond of nature, the outdoors, the changing of the seasons, gardening, insects, and the like. - One of my favorite children's books ever. My one-year-old and four-year-old both love it. I love that it is both educational and whimsical. I struggle with finding children's books that I can stand to read over and over, and this one continually impresses me with the writing as well as the illustrations. At the back of the book, there are short paragraphs about each of the animals and bugs mentioned in the book, and we love reading through those too.
- My 3.5 year old daughter loves to read and I get bored of the same books over and over. This book is unique and for a girl who loves anything outdoors (and a momma who loves to grow things) this is perfect. This book has become a favorite at our house.
- My two-year-old daughter is very interested in worms and bugs and loves this book. I don't get tired of reading it a lot because it's beautiful to look at and the words have a lovely sound, too. Kate Messner was obviously thinking about how her book would be mostly read out loud when she wrote it and planned the page breaks.
Great for kids who like bugs and dirt because the pictures let you see what's going on under the ground. - I really enjoyed how this book explain the process of trash becoming dirt and all the crawling insects that it involves! It never feels disgusting or scarry, but it rather helps understanding the cycle of life that nourishes us. Maybe better suited for a 5-7 years old. Now let's go dig in the yard... )
- This book is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. I bought this for our yearly summer-long daycare gardening unit. The kids are able to connect with the book, recognize plants, animals, and insects we see in our own garden, and I've even learned a bit from it, too.
