My family visited Yellowstone National Park several years ago while my children were younger (7 & 10). They loved participating in the Junior Ranger Program. This is a book that I would have loved to read with them before and after we visited. It highlighted various areas of the park and gave basic facts and information about them. Some of the things highlighted we did not see as we only spent two days there and there is so much to see and do. This is a wonderful non-fiction book that describes the park and often makes you feel like you are there. An excellent book for a school library or for anyone to read if you are planning a trip to visit. It will help you plan what you want to see and give you information to start your explorations. The photographs are amazing and add another dimension to this book. It is not a comprehensive book on Yellowstone, so if that is what you want, then you might want to check elsewhere. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon my request. The rating, ideas and opinions shared are my own. ( )

Yellowstone National Park by Megan Cooley Peterson is, as the name suggests, all about Yellowstone, a US national park spanning parts of three states. Geared towards kids 6-8 years old, this field guide is packed with gorgeous pictures, and tons of information. New words are introduced, with definitions supplied. Not only that, but Peterson even lays out a hike to take when visiting Yellowstone. An overall great book for getting kids interested in nature. My cubs and I read it together, and we all enjoyed it! Now they want to go visit Yellowstone in person. Haha, maybe soon!
