What Is the Panama Canal?
ByPublisher Description
Before 1914, traveling from the East Coast to the West Coast meant going by land across the entire United States. To go by sea involved a long journey around South America and north along the Pacific Coast. But then, in a dangerous and amazing feat of engineering, a 48-mile-long channel was dug through Panama, creating the world’s most famous shortcut: the Panama Canal!

“For our homeschool: Very informative but not all that thrilling.. not bad for a non-fiction and we both learned a ton about the building of the panama canal.”

“I was impressed by how well this book was written. Pascal had to have done her research for this book to have been this great.
The artwork was amazing and really will draw in the children audience plus the teen and adult audience who are interested in how the Panama Canal came to be.
There were moments that I was like eek, let's not make American seem like it was the only reason that Panama got it's canal. The workers who helped form the canal should have really gotten the credit, but that isn't the authors fault, that's just how it is in books based on historical events. We praise the countries not the people.”
