Grand Canyon: Exploring a Natural Wonder

Book Review:

This is a beautifully illustrated book about the artist/author's very first visit to the Grand Canyon. Wendell Minor’s own watercolor paintings are the pictures that help to tell the story of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The book is a descriptive account of Minor's own observations and paintings during his twelve-day stay at the Grand Canyon. He offers a glimpse into the Canyon's history and the inhabitants that dwell within the rocks of the magnificent canyon. This gives readers the chance to know about the many aspects that the Canyon has to offer. His illustrations offer readers who have never experienced the Grand Canyon in all its glory a mere peek into all its grandeur and beauty. All aged readers will be amazed at the magnificent beauty and detail the author/illustrator has captured at different times of the day and week of the natural wonder we know as the Grand Canyon.
