I found this book to be a very informative and accurate account of the history of Niagara Falls. Its full page illustrations can be used by a first grader and its text can be understood by older students when researching historical infomation about the falls. --Retailer - Niagara Falls, NY

A wonderful children's book about the falls. --Librarian --Niagara Falls, NY

We reviewed the book and it was a big hit here at the park. --Mandy May, Niagara Falls State Park

I knew nothing about Niagara Falls before our visit, I purchased this book for my two kids. I learned so much from the ilustrations and the text that it was neat to see the places when we went to the falls. I am glad we read this book over and over again before and during our trip.

My kids really liked the characters in the book.

What an educational book! We purchased a couple of books on Niagara Falls before visiting them and really enjoyed the book. This one was by far the most informative and thorough kidĒs book of the books we read on the falls. I hope anyone planning on a visit to the falls, reads this book!
