The Grand Canyon (Wonders of America)
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Bauer uses simple sentences and repeated words and phrases to help beginning readers learn about how the Grand Canyon got so grand. A quick introduction to the geology and formation of this natural wonder is followed by a look at what people can do and see while visiting the area. Additional facts are appended. Wallace's watercolor-and-pencil cartoon illustrations are warm and inviting, showing children exploring and enjoying the region. Like the text, the pictures and diagrams convey information without getting too specific or detailed, helping youngsters to understand rudimentary geological concepts. This title will be popular with newly confident readers interested in the Grand Canyon and with families planning summer travel.–Susan E.
