National Parks of the U.S.A., by Kate Siber, illustrated by Chris Turnham

It's never to early to encourage a love and appreciation for our national parks.  Kate Siber's National Parks of the U.S.A. is an overview of the national parks for young readers.  With maps, brief descriptions of a visit, and descriptions of the flora, fauna, and features of the parks, she gives children a brief introduction to our nation's wonderful resources in the parks.

Chris Turnham's terrific illustrations emphasize the plant and animal life at the parks.  Your favorite park may be left out; it is an overview, with parks from each region of the country represented, but many were excluded from a more detailed look.  Kids will enjoy learning about some of these parks, and will likely be inspired to start planning next summer's vacation to visit!  These parks truly are a national treasure.  Each generation will want to experience them.
