About the Author

Marion Dane Bauer is the author of many books for young readers, including the Newbery Honor book On My Honor and the Coretta Scott King Book Illustrator Award winner The Stuff of Stars. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, and can be reached at MarionDaneBauer.com.

John Wallace’s formal training was not in illustration, but rather theology, which he received at University of Cambridge. However, he always loved drawing, and one of his early jobs was as a newspaper cartoonist. In his children’s book illustrations, he is particularly inspired by what he calls “the gooniness” of young schoolchildren. John lives in Broadstairs, England.

Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 2-With its softly colored, naive-style watercolors, simple vocabulary, and large typeface, this Level One reader introduces a popular site. Bauer tells how the Falls were formed and discusses the Native American origin of the word Niagara and the attraction of the Falls for daredevils. A fact page for older readers is included. This is a worthy purchase for one-on-one or group sharing, or for beginning readers.-Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJ Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
