Summary
"An exploration of the Grand Canyon on a grand scale, as only Jason Chin can illustrate and explain."-- Provided by publisher.
A river winds through the landscape, eroding the rock for millions of years, shaping a cavity in the ground 277 miles long, as much as 18 miles wide, and more than a mile deep known as ...Grand Canyon. Home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals that live within its walls, Grand Canyon is much more than just a hole in the ground. Follow a father and daughter as they make their way through this wondrous place, discovering life both present and past. Weave in and out of time as perfectly placed die cuts show how a fossil today was a living creature millions of years ago, often in a completely different environment. Jason Chin's meticulous research, lucid text, and sumptuous illustrations make this one of the most beautiful books about Grand Canyon available for young people. -- from dust jacket.
