“Crossing Niagara” c2018 can be crossed off your list of books to purchases. This is a chapter book version of the original picture book published in 2016, published as a reformatted edition under the series, “Candlewick Biographies.” The volume is about half the size, and is simply a reduced-size version with chapter headings inserted on the pages. This lacks the double page fold out of the picture book that helps readers grasp the vast size of the crossing.

If you need a book on the Great Blondin, purchase the 2016 picture book edition.
