Goodreads Summary:
Rivers wind through earth, cutting down and eroding the soil for millions of years, creating a cavity in the ground 277 miles long, 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep known as the Grand Canyon.
Home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals that have lived and evolved within its walls for millennia, the Grand Canyon is much more than just a hole in the ground. Follow a father and daughter as they make their way through the cavernous wonder, discovering life both present and past.
Weave in and out of time as perfectly placed die cuts show you that a fossil today was a creature much long ago, perhaps in a completely different environment. Complete with a spectacular double gate fold, an intricate map and extensive back matter.
Local Reviews:
Phinehas, Winesburg fifth grade: The story is really a nonfiction book. It is about the Grand Canyon(duh). There is little girl and her father in the pictures camping. The illustrations were grand just like the name. It looks like hours of drawing and the author had slits to show a little bit of the next page. Vote for it.
Abby, Winesburg sixth grade: This book has amazing pictures of the Grand Canyon. There was a pop out page of a view of the Grand Canyon and all of it's plants and animals. The pictures told the story and it was so cool.
Jolene, Winesburg sixth grade: I think the book might win because the pictures are amazing! They have so much detail and color. The book also describes how a canyon is made. The story tells you every level of the canyon and what kind of animals live in that level.
Abby, Winesburg fourth grade: This book has a lot of interesting facts about the Grand Canyon. It tells how it looked a lot of years ago. It also tells how the Grand Canyon formed over the years.

Ohlen, Walnut Creek fifth grade: In "Grand Canyon" the author portrays the beauty of the grand canyon very well and it explains how all the animals live and survive. It showed different "ages" of rocks and fossils. This book was very cool and also showed how you can hike through and observe its natural beauty.
