Outside

Caption

The Geological Society of America announces its first children's book. Readers (ages 4-8) will be entertained as Sean, too sick to go to school, and William Trimbletoe, Sean's fisherman puppet come to life, learn about Earth. Trimbletoe's magic rhyme carries them off to see Earth from the "outside looking in." While learning about plate tectonics, Sean sees "how at the bottom of the ocean, new seafloor is created and pushes apart like a conveyor belt."
