Discover the whimsical tale of friendship between one man and his
gold pan, and their journey in the wake of the Gold Rush. "A plucky
pan is a prospector’s devoted companion as they venture through
the Alaskan interior. But when their search turns up empty, Pan
begins to wonder if he’s broken in this lighthearted glimpse into
gold rush history." —New York Public Library, Best Books for Kids
(Nonfiction History) "Though the story is humorous and the
protagonist playful, there is some meaty geology and history to be
mined within, including information on iron pyrite (aka fool's
gold: 'Drat!') and how to pan for gold. Souva's illustrations
employ geometric shapes and a muted palette, investing Pan with
appealing personality via eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. Backmatter
expands upon the story for readers curious to know more. While the
book is sure to appeal to educators, especially those teaching
about the various gold rushes in western American history, the
amusing adventures of Pan and Pedro hold broad appeal for
read-alouds with many and varied audiences beyond the classroom. A
sweet little nugget of a story." —Kirkus Reviews Pedro and his
pan go on an exciting adventure together—to strike gold! They
hike mountains, whack through bushes, and wade through streams as
they sift through dirt and gravel in search of the hidden nuggets.
But as time goes by without any success, Pan begins to worry that
he is broken. Will he and Pedro ever find what they’re looking
for? Inspired by the true story of Felix Pedro, a prospector who
launched one of the richest gold rushes in Alaska’s history,
Pedro’s Pan offers a glimpse into American history as well as
educates how gold panning works in a fun and exciting way.
