Editorial Reviews

11/01/2015
Gr 5–9—These series continuations offer comprehensive coverage of the nation's most scenic wonders. In four chapters, each volume discusses the park's history (geological and natural, as well as human), major features and ecosystems, the often difficult path to park status and protections for land and resources, and scenic areas and interesting wildlife and plants. A "Notes" section adds paragraph-length information about animals, suggested itineraries, side trips, and safety tips. Stunning, large color photos of locations and flora and fauna illustrate each park's unique beauty, but the books each contain only one map, provided by the National Park Service, which doesn't always include places mentioned in the texts. VERDICT These titles could be used as travel guides, and they also explain the challenges and importance of preserving some of the country's most beautiful and geographically important places, making them good report choices.
