Skagway, Alaska celebrates its gold rush past; and if you go there you can ride a train high into the mountains and on a clear day see all the way to the sea. There is a quaint, preserved town that you can walk through to your heart's content where you can shop, snack, walk, ride in a horse and buggy and just enjoy the quiet simplicity of this town that bills itself as the gateway of the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898! And when you see the breadth of the land and the cold mountains covered in snow, you can visualize the hardship these prospectors went through in their search for the golden ore. Written by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, to accompany photographs taken by the talented photographer, John D. Weigand, you can take a peek at this place right out of the past as you practice your reading skills through the use of word recognition, word repetition and rhyme. And if you happen to take a trip to Alaska, this book is the perfect size for little hands to hold and stuff with all their tickets and other things! There is also a music video on the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel with the same name as this book, with even more pictures of this grand place, to add to your learning fun. So go over bridges and go through tunnels and say hello to a bunch of rocks using this book and your imagination!
