Deep down

Use an exciting children's story as a starting point for activities to discover what's under the ground, suggested by Jean Evans Arouse children's curiosity about the fascinating world beneath their feet with an exciting story, The Biggest Hole in the World by Penny Little (Hodder Children's Books, 5.99).

Arouse children's curiosity about the fascinating world beneath their feet with an exciting story, The Biggest Hole in the World by Penny Little (Hodder Children's Books, 5.99).

Charlie, his Dad and Doggo the dog are at the seaside. Charlie decides to dig the biggest hole he can in the sand. Nothing strange here, you might think... until he falls in!

The story follows Charlie down through the layers of the earth, into the centre and out the other side. As Charlie finds out, you never know what is hidden beneath your feet!

The design of the book adds to the excitement of the story, with ever- decreasing holes cut in the centre of each page as Charlie works his way down and deeper into the earth.
