Where is the Grand Canyon? By Jim O’Connor

Rating: Needs Parent Supervision

Reading Level: Early Elementary, Mid-late Elementary

Possible Concerns:

• Paganism. Refers to some stick art that is posited to have been ancient peoples’ gifts to gods.
• Age of the Earth. Conservatives on the age of the universe won’t like references to billions of years ago, etc.
• Indian Reservations. There is discussion of native people groups fighting or living on reservations; this may need more discussion.
• Gold digging. There is ample mention of European explorers looking for treasure and coming up short.
