Product Description: What would happen if the Great Lakes drained away? This unique and thought-provoking children's book shows the bizarre landscape that would be revealed if all the water of the Great Lakes were to suddenly disappear. The book taps into and unlocks a timeless mystery for both children and adults -- just what is under all that water? Everyone will be surprised. We would see huge mountains and caves at the bottom of Lake Huron, tall peaks rising from the floor of Lake Superior, mighty freighters would sit helplessly on the bottom -- you could even walk to Mackinac Island! This book serves to entertain, but also to educate children and adults about the amazing newly discovered geologic features under the Great Lakes. Most importantly the book will remindus to never take this natural wonder for granted.
neat pics, awful rhymes... I've never read worse poetry-- but the concept is cool and the pictures are beautiful.
Interesting Look Beneath the Great Lake I saw this book at a bookstore in Traverse City, MI and finally found it here on Amazon.com. The drawings are simple, but the information about what lies beneath the Great Lakes is interesting. Having grown up in Michigan, I was not aware of many of these facts. While the book will appeal to younger readers due to the artwork, the simple facts about the lakes will be interesing to adults as well. I researched some of the facts (like the meteor crater on the bottom of one of the Lakes) and found scientific research supporting the claims made in the book.
