I found this "caving" book today at Half-Price Books in the kids science section for $ 3.
"Explore in a Cave" by Dana Meachen Rau ( 2000) Hard-bound, 24 pages This is the first caving book that I have seen for pre-K to Kindergarten level. It is part of a series of adventure books. The book features a smiling girl about 6 or 7 with a toy hardhat and headlamp in an artificial cave ( the Chicago Zoo ? ). My favorite quote from the book is: "Search in the dark. That is what I do when I explore a cave." The book's final page gives the reader further sources to continue their cave studies, including addresses for the NSS and the National Caves Association. I think this book could have shown the girl with real caving gear in a real cave, but then it may not have been pre-K level reading. I would like to see more books like this for little kids.
