REVIEW
Gorgeous photographs augmented with descriptions of each park and things to see and do make Ranger Rick's National Parks! a great book for young readers. While the amazing photographs are the primary attraction here, the brief information given about every National Park in the United States gives a glimpse into the wide variety of landscapes and wildlife found there. Each section gives a one paragraph summary about the park while also including ideas for top activities, fun facts, and information about what makes it famous, when it was established and it's size (in acres). Reading the book made me want to hope on a plane and visit each and every park to see the amazing places and animals that make each park so valuable. I love books like this because they remind me that our world is still a pretty amazing place. The design of this book makes it perfect for browsing or reading all the way through.
