Grade 2-3-In this clear, concise presentation, four children
introduce the subject of mountain formation by taking a hike in
their local community. The youngsters appear throughout the book,
commenting in dialogue bubbles about specific facts, giving
demonstrations of ways mountains change, or making humorous asides.

內容簡介:
Even though Mount Everest measures 29,028 feet high, it may be
growing about two inches a year. A mountain might be thousands of
feet high, but it can still grow taller or shorter each year.
Mountains are created when the huge plates that make up the earth''s
outer shell very slowly pull and push against one another. Read and
find out about all the different kinds of mountains.
