Activity and Educational Book

Story and design by Hilary Whitcomb

This 12-page book provides kids with activities and information about Great Salt Lake (GSL) history, geography, and ecology. The book includes a wordsearch, a maze, a crossword puzzle, a fun story about the adventures of Andy Avoceti, and cool facts about brine shrimp, GSL birds and the GSL food web.

The book version is designed to fit on three, double-sided pages. Each 8.5 x 11" page includes two book pages. Just make sure your printer can print on both sides and that the page orientation is set to "Landscape." You may also need to set Page Scaling to "Fit to printable area." Or, if you prefer, you can download the consecutive page version, which places one book page on each 8.5 x 11" page.
