Publisher Description
This interactive multimedia ‘touch and play’ visit to the Grand Canyon is sure to entertain and engage any child, but it is especially created for younger children. Join Kristi Kay, a little Cairn Terrier, on a visit to this National Park. Listen to the canyon’s sounds, watch brief video clips about life in the canyon, and discover opportunities for interaction on every page. The short rhyming children’s story is fun and easy to read, while the book’s interactivity makes the journey entertaining.
The ‘read aloud’ option makes this book appropriate especially for younger children. For older children, however, a collection of links to on-line videos, presented by the National Park Service, offers a more in depth experience.
The additional section about the Junior Ranger Program, which explains this special program for children, can make your next family vacation to National Parks even more rewarding.
Join Kristi Kay on an adventure of a lifetime and experience the Grand Canyon in a special way!
Customer Reviews
Grandchildren love it!
I have had a month to really sit and enjoy this book with my 2 1/2 year old grand children. They stay on each page for several minutes and want to experience each link over and over again. They like the binocular and camera feature as well. We talk about how much I love to hike there and want to take them with me. I really think this will be a treasured activity that will build an anticipation for the real thing!
An Educational & Charming Book
Author Marie Von Minden has provided us once again with another enjoyable adventure book for children; this time aimed at younger children. They will be enchanted by the extra features, such as animal calls and sounds, while learning about one of our nation's most cherished, and visited, national parks. The short videos inserted into each section give a sense of actually being there in person. As a former educator, I am excited about the opportunity to show this to some of the young ones in my own extended family.
My Paws at the Grand Canyon
This is a delightful interactive book for young children. The adorable cairn terrier makes learning about the Grand Canyon fun and the interactive features add additional interest. If I was still teaching I would definitely add this to my classroom iPad library.
