Customer Reviews

Great fun with the Parkers!!!

My wife and I recently took our 3rd grade daughter on a trip to Grand Canyon and Zion National Parks. We found 2 of the "Parkers" books in the Zion Visitor's Center and got them for our daugher. After she finished the first book, she very excitedly came to her mother and I to tell us about how good it was!!! Very high praise indeed...She also informed us that this author should be one that her school invites to their annual Literacy Festival where the school invites a couple of authors in with their works to speak to the kids. The school principal let me know this is the first time a kid has suggested a particular author. High praise indeed.

Grand Canyon: Tail of the Scorpion (Adventures With the Parkers)

This is a great book to entertain children while learning about America's National Parks. The family interaction within the book is loving and caring.

Informative, entertaining

I have been talking about hiking the Grand Canyon with my 9 year old gradson. (His mom did the hike with me when she was nine) This book is great in it's detail about what adults and youngsters both see and experience when doing the hike. What children imagine the hike is like and what actually transpires are not exactly the same. It's not as easy as they imagine! But the rewards are worth the effort!
