Publisher's Synopsis
- This very successful children's picture book is now available in paperback.
- Simultaneous release with a brand-new picture book by the same author-illustrator team, Max and Ed Bike to Nome, also a story about the Gold Rush.
- Many western states (AK, CO, NV, MT, CA) have ties to the Gold Rush and gold panning at tourist attractions and theme parks.
- Excellent choice for extended learning and activities for school Gold Rush units and Westward expansion units.
- Hooks include: humor; history and science educational value; unique in that other books on the subject are old-fashioned and unimaginative/dull.
- Appeals to gift stores, libraries, and Indie bookstores in gold mining states.
- Lexile: AD540L, F&P Text Level: N
