The story
Obaynotte breaks almost every rule he hears, and his friend Intrupta cheers him on. He whacks open the gate of a closed skate park, rides the biggest ramp, and flies right off into the sky.
He lands in the Grand Canyon, where a bald eagle named Migisi warns him that nature has its own rules. Obaynotte loves breaking rules, and a "Do not enter" sign is hard to resist.
The real place: Grand Canyon
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1The Grand Canyon was carved by the Colorado River slowly cutting through rock over millions of years.
- 2In some places the Grand Canyon is more than a mile deep, and its colorful rock layers are like pages of Earth's history.
- 3Nearby Antelope Canyon is a narrow slot canyon whose smooth, wavy walls were shaped by rushing floodwater.
