Edition DescriptionGuide (Instructor's)
SynopsisThe Great Lakes--Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario--are one of the natural wonders of the world. Shaped by glaciers, the lakes and the lands around them have been home to native American nations, explorers, loggers, and farmers as well as visitors who enjoy fishing, boating, and hunting in a region known for cool summers, colorful autumns, and snowy winters. This beautifully-illustrated book conveys the region's natural heritage through stories, poems, essays, and historical accounts. The book invites readers to meet an Ojibwe girl born in 1777 on the shores of Wisconsin's Chequamegon Bay; spend a summer hunting for rare plants in rural Indiana or working on an organic farm; watch the Aurora Borealis from atop four hundred high dunes in Michigan. The book is filled with adventures, including crossing an ice bridge above Niagara Falls in the winter of 1899 and sailing on the schooner, "Rouse Simmons," bringing Christmas trees from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Chicago in 1912. Describing canoe trips, fishing expeditions, and encounters with moose, loons, and bears, the book features such well-known writers as Minnesota's Sigurd Olson, Illinois' Sandra Cisneros, Indiana's Edwin Way Teale and Gene Stratton-Porter, and Ontario's Margaret Atwood., This delightful anthology conveys not only the richness of nature in the Great Lakes region, but also the importance it holds for so many of its inhabitants. Shaped by glaciers, the area has been home to diverse Native American nations, explorers, trappers, loggers, and farmers. Readers meet an Ojibwe girl born in 1777 on the shores of Wisconsin's Chequamegon Bay, spend a summer hunting for rare plants in rural Indiana, and watch the Aurora Borealis from atop 400-foot dunes in Michigan. The book is filled with adventures past and present, including the thrill of sledding the highest hill in deep winter, crossing an ice bridge above Niagara Falls in the winter of 1899, and sailing on the Rouse Simmons, a schooner bringing Christmas trees from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Chicago in 1912. Other pieces describe quicksand-filled bogs; canoe trips; fishing for walleye, carp, and pike; and encounters with moose, loons, and bears. Contributors include Margaret Atwood, Sigurd Olson, Sandra Cisneros, Edwin Way Teale, Gene Stratton-Porter, and more.
