The evocative, stunning illustrations and text certainly accomplish their purpose. Young readers will glimpse the majesty of the Grand Canyon and learn something about its past and present inhabitants. But I must confess, my children don't particularly favor books that describe natural scenery in straightforward detail as in "A ringtail cat drinks from a slower side stream", etc, etc.
This was a beautiful and informative book. The pictures were amazing, and it brought insight into the grand canyon that you do not get from traditional non-fiction. It really added great elements to my lesson, and I will enjoy using it my class for years to come.
I did not realize that this was written for children. I will give it to my grand children. Good information for the wee ones.
I didn't realize it is a child's book so it didn't meet my needs. It might be fine if you are 8 years old
