About this listen
A masterful exploration of one of nature's most curious ecosystems, Caves is a magical journey into subterranean wonders perfect for fans of Jason Chin.
In the shade of the woods is a hill with a hole. Beaconing black. Goosebump chills. Excitement and fear battle. What will win? You want to go in... do you dare?
Using evocative storytelling, Nell Cross Beckerman urges children to explore one of nature's most curious ecosystems. Dramatic, poetic language guides kids through different caves around the world while nonfiction text allows for deeper understanding.
An ideal choice for nature lovers, future explorers, and fans of Jason Chin and Kate Messner.

"Cross Beckerman injects genuine passion into this nonfiction examination of caves..."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An observation that the floors of some lava tubes in Australia are flat enough for wheelchairs makes Beckerman's invitation even more inclusive. Tantalizing glimpses of hidden natural treasures."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Would-be spelunkers and those who would never consider a trip into a cave have the potential to be launched on a lifelong journey of discovery into the amazing world of caves as depicted in this excellent title. Highly recommended for all library collections."—School Library Journal (starred review)
