A Grand Canyon Journey: Tracing Time in Stone (First Books--Earth & Sky Science)
Grade 4-6.  Anderson takes readers on a guided tour from the rim of the Grand Canyon down to the valley floor. One can almost imagine traveling downward on the back of a mule as the colorful narration describes the geological history that created the distinct layers of rock. The author interweaves information about the canyon's flora and fauna as well as the history of its human habitation. A Havasupai creation legend about the origins of the Grand Canyon is included. Brief chapters are highlighted by attractive, captioned, color photographs. Clear, informative, and interesting prose and pictures make this a solid selection for libraries.?Rosalyn Pierini, San Luis Obispo City-County Library,Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
