Jason Chin (1) (1978–)

PreS-Gr 4—This wondrously illustrated guide explores the size of the universe and our place in it. Using the height
and location of an eight-year-old child looking at the night sky as a gauge, Chin creates a cosmic nesting doll. Size and distance throughout the universe are compared, and the text incorporates basic astronomical information.

K-Gr 4—Chin travels from the level of what makes us human down to the building blocks of the universe and then
pulls back out, to the outer spheres of the cosmos. In page after page of cascading spreads, science and poetry
blend flawlessly to deliver information with grace and confidence.

This informational text teaches readers about the Grand Canyon. This book includes small graphs, charts and interactive holes in the pages to show rocks! I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and up. I say 3rd grade because I feel at this age they are starting to understand graphs and charts, so I feel they would be able to understand this book and be able to follow along with the informational stuff about the Grand Canyon.
