Caves and Caverns by Gail Gibbons

We have also been finishing up our study of earth, and with it, caves and caverns.  We read a few books on the subject, but my favorite was Caves and Caverns by Gail Gibbons.  I especially appreciate her explanation of how limestone caves are formed -- a topic I found a little confusing in Caves (A True Book), which we also read.



Another favorite -- especially for the younger crowd -- will be Caves: Mysteries Beneath Our Feet.  We started off with it.


Finally, we looked at postcards from Luray Caverns which we have visited several times.

For items with recipes (like the blueberry pancakes I...
