As a teacher, I can say that The Soil Book is a game-changer. Its size alone is impressive, making it a great center of attention for class discussions. The rhyming language makes scientific concepts so much easier for younger students to digest. Plus, the interactive learning activities help them connect the material with real-life experiences, and the inclusion of organisms within the soil ecosystem is a fantastic addition!

This book is the perfect way to send my 4-year-old child to sleep. They have become obsessed by it for some reason, maybe its the colorful pictures. Whenever we are outside he is looking for worms :/ Thanks Life Rocks!

The rhyming words and big colourful illustrations are so immersing for children. For myself as an adult it has opened up an exciting universe beneath my feet I had overlooked. Simple, fun and profound!

As a Head Teacher of Science, parent and grandparent, this is an amazing book. If our kids are to thrive in this world they will need to understand nature through Science. I love the language used, scientific yet fun and accessible for kids. Beautifully illustrated. It would be a fantastic addition to any preschool and primary school. There just does not seem to be enough of this type of learning resource available. Highly recommended for all.

My kids absolutely love this book. My youngest is a bit young to read but loves the pictures! My 11 year old loves learning and finished the book as soon as he got it! He was telling us all about the facts from the book. I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants their kids to learn about our 🌎 in a fun and easy way! Asher is truly knowledgeable. Amazing!

Our 3 kids of various ages between 4-9 all loved this book. The large size means I can read it to all and no one is fighting over who can see what. And the content is super clear and insightful for a child. Should be distributed to all kindergartens in my opinion!

They just don't make kids books like this anymore! Essential for anyone with a kid. Modern society is hard to navigate without resources like this. Respect to the LR team ❤️

What a joy. Every time I read it they say AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN. It is fun to read. It is delightful for them to watch and listen. Now when we walk out in nature, they are on their knees looking at the soil very carefully and trying to find all the magical creatures that they see in the SOIL BOOK. Every grandma and grandpa should get it for their grandchildren. It will be a hit, I promise you. If you are a parent, then this is a must have on the shelf for your kids. I can't wait for the rest of the series. This is just the start of an exciting journey. Helping kids connect to nature and a lifelong love of the beautiful world around us. Enjoy. Highly recommended.
