My 4-year-old absolutely loved this book and story. She was captivated by all the wonderful illustrations and loved following along with Nacho and Lola on their adventures. She actually loved it so much that she wants to go to the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon now!

I'd highly recommend this book to anyone with kids that love the outdoors and travelling!

I received this book directly from the author.

I bought this delightful book from the author as she's from my hometown. I got it, along with matching plushies, for my youngest granddaughter, for Christmas. The book is very educational, nicely illustrated, and tells about one of our country's great natural treasures. Well done and perfect for the young reader!

My granddaughter and I have probably read this book now 100 times! She just loves it! (As do I) it’s a beautiful story, and the illustrations are amazing. She loves pointing out all the little creatures in the background.. I highly recommend this book, and any other books this author has written, they all have been amazing!

Terrilyn Trejo has packed a lot of information about the Grand Canyon into this little book. The small but mighty Chihuahuas Nacho and Lola are traveling in an RV with the family and act as tour guides to the reader. Emily Brunner's cute vibrant watercolor illustrations with ink contour lines help tell the story.
