By: Kate Messner | Illustrator:  Christopher Silas Neal | Series: Over and Under 
In this exuberant and lyrical addition to the award-winning Over and Under series, emerging readers will delight in discovering the wonders that lie hidden between stalks, under the shade of leaves, and down in the dirt.

From the author-illustrator team behind Over and Under the Snow and Over and Under the Pond.

Explore the secret realm beneath the dirt that brings the world of nature to life: Follow a young girl and her grandmother on a journey through the year planning, planting, and harvesting their garden—and learn about what's happening in the dirt to help make it all happen.
 
Up in the garden, the world is full of green—leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt exists a busy world—earthworms dig, snakes hunt, skunks burrow—populated by all the creatures that make a garden their home.
 
These secrets and many others are waiting to be discovered up in the garden and down in the dirt in this sweet children’s book from Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal, the latest in their beloved series that offers kids a peek into hidden ecosystems.

ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL: Beautiful illustrations paired with an easy-to-follow storyline make this a great read for any early elementary school student, while a glossary of animals that live in, around, and under the garden enriches the reading experience.

INSPIRES A LOVE A NATURE: Offering a look inside a hidden and bustling underground ecosystem, this gorgeously illustrated book encourages children to explore the world around them and appreciate the natural wonders they discover.
 
A FIVE-STAR FAVORITE OF READERS & REVIEWERS: "The harmonious relationships above and below ground, and those between the two, emphasize the complexities of the garden ecosystem, as well as the joys of sustained engagement with the land."—The Horn Book Magazine; "Offers excellent coming attractions for what youngsters can expect when they try to grow something." —Reading Today

Sizing is not accurate!
Size: 9 Years, Color: Light Blue
I bought this for my granddaughter, who is 8 years old, and typically wears a size 8. I purchased the size 9, she likes oversized hoodies, even though the add already says it’s oversized. It was MAYyBE a size 6, it was tight on my six year old granddaughter. I sent it back, and am not reordering. I’m not going to keep guessing on sizing. I want to know that when I order the size she wears in Nike, Adidas, Target,etc. , that it’s going to be the same, and not have to keep returning items…

Loved these and they fit. Nice and warm for a chilly summer evening at the beach, and looked great with summer pastels.

True to size, good quality
Size: 3T, Color: White, Size: 3T, Color: White
Great quality sweatshirts. I bought white to tie dye. They held the dye really well! They are true to size, but a little bit longer than most shirts. They fit my kids really well. They have also held up well in the wash, no shrinking at all!

Durable and Warm
Size: 4T, Color: Orange
This is a great quality and my son says its really warm. Some hoodies can be a bit to thin, but this one was a little thicker and a great weight for those chilly days. I even applied some Cricut-cut HTV designs to the front and they worked really well on this fabric. It washes up great and has held up really well to my toddler's abuse!
