Chin, J. (2017). Grand Canyon. New York: Roaring Brook Press.
Overview: Magnificent nonfiction book. I learned so much from reading this quick engaging book. Lots of nonfiction reading features throughout the book - diagrams, pictures, timelines, content area at the end of the book. This book would be great in studying ecosystems, rocks, habitats and animals, plants in a region, erosion and changes over time. I could see this book being an opener to an inquiry unit. Students could develop questions about information in the book they want to learn more about. Then the class could come back together to share the additional information they researched. For a very short book it jam packed with quality information.
