Stalactite & Stalagmite: A Big Tale from a Little Cave by Drew Beckmeyer

adventurous funny informative lighthearted medium-paced

• Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

Drew Beckmeyer is the creator of one of my favorite books, I Am a Tornado. His ability to fuse art and words into a story that teaches you so much while also warming your heart is extraordinary. Stalactite & Stalagmite are no exception. The breadth of scientific history covered in this picture book could be overwhelming, yet Beckmeyer grounds it in these two characters who grow closer over millions of years as they make funny observations on the immenseness of events occurring around them.  
Learning + humor is always a win.
