What an awesome product to review! We have had so much fun learning about the Grand Canyon.

Charlie and Trike's Grand Canyon Adventure

Charlie & Trike are two fun pals! Written by Ken Ham with Karen Hansel, the two little friends take you on quite the adventure through the Grand Canyon. Who knew even preschoolers could learn and understand what the Grand Canyon is, where it is, and the fun facts behind it. My 4 year old had quite the time reading about Charlie & Trike.

A little more about the book:

"In this first presentation of the Green Notebook Series, Charlie and his triceratops buddy, Trike, set off with a burly one-eyed tour guide and a passel of mules to hike deep into Grand Canyon. But there's trouble on the trail when Charlie goes off on his own to dig for fossils. What's more, Charlie's convinced the tour guide is a thief, but any plans to catch him are quickly foiled. Once in the Canyon, Trike does his best to explain to his friend the worldwide Flood and why we can trust the Bible. Finally, with the help of the tour guide, Charlie sees and understands the truth in a way that will change his life forever."

This package included the actual Charlie & Trike in the Grand Canyon Adventure book and a "Your Guide To The Grand Canyon" spiral bound book. The books are great resources when learning about the Grand Canyon.

One of my favorite things in the Charlie & Trike book were the fun facts (with pull out pages) about the Grand Canyon as well as the biblical stories behind the flood and who Noah is. This definitely kept my preschoolers attention. We read the book several days in a row before nap-time and it has become a staple to read here in our house. New Leaf Publishing has become a favorite here and I'm excited to order more Homeschool curriculum and books from them! I highly recommend their resources.

In honor of Charlie & Trike, I'm hosting a Twitter party just for these two little guys :) This is an event you won't want to miss. It will be August 31st at 8pm CST. All you have to do is log in and be there to chat at that time. Don't forget to use the hashtag #C&Trike during the chat.
