Free Where Is The Grand Canyon? (Where Is...?) Ebooks Online
There are canyons all over the planet, and the Grand Canyon in Arizona is not the biggest. Yet because of the spectacular colors in the rock layers and fascinating formations of boulders, buttes, and mesas, it is known as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Starting with a brief overview of how national parks came into being, this book covers all aspects of the canyon--how it formed, which early native people lived there, and what varied wildlife can be found there now. A history of the canyon's end-to-end exploration in the late 1860s and how the Grand Canyon became such a popular vacation spot (5 million tourists visit every year) round out this informative, easy-to-read account.

Another great book from the Where Is, Who Was, What Was group of authors. These are all informative and engaging. My fourth grade students cannot get enough of them. I have read several myself and I, too, find them a pleasure to read. I have already pre-ordered additional titles and must wait for their distribution.
The series of Who Is... What Is.. and Where Is... books are immensely popular in my third grade classroom! Since they are chapter books with large print and interesting graphics, the kids snap them up as soon as I buy them. I bought Where Is the Grand Canyon? for my 13 year old son for his birthday. As he was busy reading other books, I brought this to school and it is now in the hands of the fourth child who clamored to read it. I must retrieve it for the summer!The reading level of most of these books varies from 4th to 6th grade, but good readers will not have a problem with them. The Grand Canyon book has nine chapters, including an introduction and there is a time line at the end for both the subject of the book and one for other events in the world. The chapters focus on the history of the place, people who were instrumental in shaping its history, and the science involved such as wildlife and geology. A favorite chapter in this book is "A One Armed Adventurer" which tells of explorer John Wesley Powell who lost his arm in the Civil War, but still managed to climb cliffs in the Grand Canyon. He almost fell to his death, but was saved by his friend and a pair of long underwear!Since non-fiction is stressed more in schools now, these books fill a place in a required genre that students enjoy reading. I am particularly enjoying the Where Is...books and also recommend the Niagara Falls book in the series. My class is looking forward to the release of Where Is the Great Barrier Reef! I hope to read about many more places in the near future!
My fourth graders LOVE the "Who is/ Who Was..." books, but the "Where is" books aren't as popular for some reason. I'm not sure why.
Our grandson loves this series
helpful with school projects.
