A patriotic marmot. A mile-deep canyon. And one runaway watermelon that causes all kinds of trouble.
Paulie the marmot is officially an adventurer now and his biggest journey yet takes him 2,296 miles west to one of America's most breathtaking wonders: the Grand Canyon.
Alongside Sarge, Mrs., and their two cats, Paulie rides a mule all the way to the bottom of the canyon, explores ancient cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde, stands in four states at once at Four Corners, and gazes up at the towering red buttes of Monument Valley. He's seeing the country he loves one landmark at a time and learning something new at every single stop.
But when that runaway watermelon leads to a scary accident deep in the canyon, Paulie's family suddenly needs a hero. With no radio and no way to call for help, it's up to one small, brave marmot and his new mule friend, Jebby, to ride through the night and save the day.
Part travel adventure, part heartwarming rescue, Paulie's Tale: Grand Canyon Adventures is the third book in The Tales of Paulie series - loved by kids, parents, grandparents, and classrooms alike.
Inside this story, young readers will:
- Explore real American landmarks - the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, and Four Corners
- Discover fun facts about geography, history, national parks, and the Pueblo and Navajo peoples
- Learn about courage, friendship, and doing brave things even when you're scared
- Giggle at Paulie's dad jokes, his watermelon mishaps, and his very determined (very unsuccessful) attempts to whistle
Written by former teacher Kelly Mitchell Schilling and warmly illustrated by John Collado, this is a read-aloud treasure for ages 4-9 and a wonderful gift for curious kids, road-trip families, and little explorers who dream of seeing all fifty states.
Perfect for bedtime, story time, homeschool lessons, and classroom read-alouds.
