Kyle Oty Finds Treasure in the Grand Canyon

Kyle Oty is no ordinary coyote — he's a singing, howling, adventuring explorer on a mission to discover the greatest treasure in the Grand Canyon!

When curious coyote Kyle Oty sets out to explore one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, he never expects what he'll find. Along the winding rim and rugged trails of the Grand Canyon, Kyle meets a cast of unforgettable new friends: Ripple the raccoon with her clever paw-like hands and black mask, Elton the majestic elk with his towering antlers, Max the sure-footed mule who carries visitors to breathtaking waterfalls, and Skyfeather the golden eagle who watches over every trail and cliff in the canyon.

When Kyle's paw gets stuck deep in the rocks, it takes every one of his new friends to come to his rescue — and in that moment, Kyle discovers something far more valuable than silver or gold: the true treasure of kindness, friendship, and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world.

Packed with original songs that children will want to sing again and again, fascinating fun facts about every animal in the story, and an introduction to petroglyphs, the Colorado River, and Native American culture, Kyle Oty Finds Treasure in the Grand Canyon is a joyful, educational adventure for young readers ages 4–8.
