my favorite thing about the book is how some pages have a border of animals and their names around the illustrations. it made it fun to look at and educational
pickI loved this book mostly because of the way they included images, maps, diagrams, illustrations. I love the contrast of the illustrations of the family to the more “science like“ images and maps
With a 9-foot wingspan, and weighing as much as 23 pounds, the condor is the largest land bird in North America.
The illustrations were beautiful and very detailed. I also loved the pull out pages and the cuts in the pages to see onto the next page, very fun and creative!

pickGrand Canyon by Jason Chin was on of the 2018 Caldecott honor winners. This is a really beautifully illustrated educational book. You learn so much about the Grand Canyon with pictures that make you want to keep reading. His use of darks hues of blues bring the feeling of early morning alive in the beginning of the book and then brings in brighter colors to illuminate early dawn.
The artwork is amazing and really captures all the details that exist on the actual Grand Canyon.
