Booklist Review - Is All Soil the Same?

Dirty is the perfect name for a series that will have kids wanting to head outside and see
some of the interesting points the books make about soil—what it is, how it’s formed, what it’s good for.
Is All Soil the Same? goes deeper into soil’s composition and explains why soil can be different colors and
consistencies. The books are neatly laid out, with simple text captioning the many color photographs. A
good gambit is used to get kids to turn pages: each spread ends with a question. All of the books end with a
science-lab feature that offers simple experiments for budding scientists. Full of useful information, this
series makes the most ordinary of substances fascinating.
