Illustrated by
Shannon Cartwright.
This book conveys facts about Denali's (Mt. McKinley's) flora, fauna, geology, and climbers; an Athabascan creation myth is also included. The detailed art adds interest and humor. However, the busy format, including paragraphs of factual information, rhymed text, captions, labels, and boxed inserts, scatters the reader's attention. The book could serve as a good starting point for research on North America's highest peak.
