Super Parks! Yellowstone A middle grade book review

2/27/2022

The world is beginning to open up again after two years of isolation and quarantine. It's time for families to get out and see the world again!

I recently got a copy of Super Parks! Yellowstone National Park, from Arcadia Children's Books, and if a trip to this National Park is on your family's bucket list, I highly recommend getting a copy for yourself.

Sure to engage any reader with its text boxes full of fun facts, this heavily illustrated book includes information about the history, culture, animals, weather, and activities in the park and surrounding areas. The bright colors and short chapters make it an easy book for reluctant or beginning readers, and the index in the back makes the information more accessible.

Super Parks! Yellowstone National Park has chapters on the flora and fauna of the park, plus chapters on where to stay and what to do while in the park. I think that it would be an immense help to planning a kid-friendly trip. Allowing kids to help plan the agenda based on this book would make them super interested even before they arrived.

This book would also be a great resource for any child who is writing a report about the park and needs interesting tidbits of information. 

I'd be happy to pass on my lightly-used copy to a family interested in making a trip to Yellowstone part of their summer plans. Leave a comment, and I will choose one commenter at random.

I've visited Yellowstone many times. It's a long drive (10 hours) but well worth every minute of travel time. Thanks for featuring this resource on this week's MMGM. I'll let someone else win the giveaway who might be planning a trip to this iconic location .

Great idea for a book, I'd love to see the equivalent for national parks this side of the Atlantic :)

    I am a former middle school teacher who loves travel and history, so it should come as no surprise that many of my books are middle grade historical novels set in beautiful or interesting places.  But not all of them.  I hope there's one title here that will speak to you personally and deeply.

    What I love most: that "ah hah" moment when a reader suddenly understands the connections between himself, the past, and the world around him.  Those moments are rarified, mountain-top experiences.
