Illustrated by
Erik Brooks.
Tortoise Tino and his friend Rudi, a long-eared jerboa, travel through the Grand Canyon by various modes to find Penny the Kaibab squirrel. Though the specifics of their quest are silly, the story delves into the geography, geology, and animal diversity of the region; unfortunately, the good-quality information gets lost in the wordiness. Watercolor illustrations capture the colors of this natural wonder.
