Deep canyons, grassy plains, high mountains, lonely deserts, beautiful beaches and other miracles of nature are all a part of North America. It`s a continent of extremes -- rocket launches, twisters that rage across the countryside, earthquakes, ice hockey matches played in Inuit villages, the skyscraper city of New York, grizzly bears, alligators and other colorful wildlife, the Great Lakes, and the huge sculptures of Mount Rushmore are just some of the highlights and they`re all in this book! Besides the user-friendly maps that let you know exactly where everything is, you`ll find each country`s colorful flag displayed. And look out for the page of removable stickers in the center and the interesting activity, useful glossary and index at the end.
