Book Review of The Underneath

The Underneath
The Underneath
Author: Kathi Appelt
Genre: Children's Books
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 90 more book reviews


Powerful story, with lots of symbolism, poetry, emotion and metaphor. It jumps between the story of the dog & the cats, and characters out of history in the same location. The two stories parallel and join as the book progresses. Its a hard book to read in some ways, but worthy of the awards.
