Reviews

[Will Nelson]

Everything was laid out very logically and flowed well - a good book to give a kid or someone just learning about caves. I wish there had been chapters to separate 1) the formation of caves 2) the animals that live in them 3) how people have used them, and I also wanted to know a bit more about that last section. Really, I can't complain, and the book did what it intended to do.
