The Grand Canyon

Well organized information covers topics such as the formation and history of the canyon as well as the composition of the rocks. Unique book design looks like signs posted with thumbtacks on top of identical background photographs. Then it has some photo on top of the signs that add to the three dimensional look. Most of the photos are exceptional. Contains glossary, index, and a list of two web sites. Karen Woodworth Roman, Children's Science Book Review
