Mom's Review
Big Digs is an appropriately oversized nonfiction picture books that takes the reader around the world and back through history all the way to ancient civilizations. With a comprehensive look at remarkable subterranean construction, this import from the Swiss publisher Helvetiq introduces all kinds of tunnels, vaults, subways, and more. Readers will learn why and how the different tunnels were constructed, like the Norwegian Seed Vault or the Mexican Temple of the Feathered Serpent or the failed Boston freeway tunnels in the United States. Sanchez focuses on high-interest aspects of each construct, including fascinating trivia alongside basic information in the accessible explanatory text and captions. Big Digs is great for kids to flip through and explore or read with an adult (who will no doubt enjoy it as well)!
