Very explicit and informative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for your library *by N***T on December 9, 2020* “Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness.”-President Theodore RooseveltHow do I begin to describe the majestic wonder that is the Grand Canyon? I was lucky to have hiked down its winding path first-hand as an adolescent. It has left an indelible impact on my life and has fostered a love of nature that has continued to grow.“Grand Canyon” is a remarkable book written and illustrated by Jason Chin. Much like his other books, it is a non-fiction picture book packed with scientific and historical facts about the formation, ecology, and geology of this natural wonder. It even includes the route the characters took for future hikers to take note of. The information included in the back is a treasure trove of facts. Beautiful and detailed illustrations make this an excellent nonfiction addition to your library.Some facts:1. Grand Canyon became a national Park in 19082. At a massive 1,904 square miles, Grand Canyon National Park is bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island (1,212 square miles).3. President Theodore Roosevelt established the Grand Canyon Game Preserve by proclamation in 1906, and declared Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908.4. The Hopi Tribe considers views the Grand Canyon to be a place of great spiritual significance as they consider it a gateway to the afterlife5. The most dangerous animal in the canyon is not the Bighorn Sheep or the Gila monster, it is actually the Rock Squirrel (many visitors have felt its bite)!6. Its canyons are full of fossils but none of them are dinosaurs. The canyon layers were formed long before dinosaurs walked the earth. There are however, fossils of ancient marine animals that date back 1.2 billion years.7. No one really knows how old the Grand Canyon is. Recent studies show that the Colorado River may have started carving the canyon 70 million years ago (and not 6 million years ago as was previously thought). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best natural history of the Grand Canyon I've ever seen - deeply satisfying *by R***Y on May 29, 2018* This is literally one of the best children's picture books I've ever seen! For any child interested in the world of nature, the outdoors, evolution, paleoecology, geology, or natural history this book will be profoundly satisfying. Beautiful, detailed illustrations that realistically capture the feel of this high desert landscape and each elevation’s own ecological zone, alternate between the Grand Canyon as it looks today and how that terrain looked hundreds of millions of years ago (sometimes taking us underwater). The book gives a real sense of our earth's history in a way that will be very accessible to children of any age, as seen through the eyes of a girl exploring the Grand Canyon with her father. Pre-readers will pore over the illustrations (I'd have spent hours looking at those as a child!) and take in on their own level the text their parents read to them. Older children (I would not hesitate to give this book to an intelligent 6th grader) will get even more out of this book. Actually, I would recommend this wholeheartedly to adults as well; it fills one with joy and a sense of great wonder. How great is our God!(Perhaps I'd better add, for those who are uncomfortable with my exclamation: This book does not speak of God, but it will lead anyone who does believe in God to praise Him.) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/39553306-grand-canyon-caldecott-honor-book](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/39553306-grand-canyon-caldecott-honor-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
