The Great St. Lawrence Seaway

Rating:
Summary: Picture Perfect!
Review: In Gail Gibbons book, The Great St. Lawrence Seaway, Gibbons not only shows and tells children about the system of locks and canals on the St Lawrence River, she also weaves the history behind the seaway into her nonfictional account. This step by step process of the build up of the Seaway and how it functions is clearly and easily understood by young children. Students in the classroom also note that her illustrations convey the build up of towns and people along the banks of the St. Lawrence as more and more ships were able to pass along the waterway!
