From School Library Journal:
Gr 2-5-Essentially tourist guides for kids, these titles introduce some of America's most-visited national parks. They cover each park's natural and human history and provide information about its most prominent geographic features, flora and fauna, park transportation, and things to see and do on a park visit. The volumes open with a good locator map and close with a special interest map of the park or its surrounding area. An "All About" page provides statistical information, and brief "Pit Stop" sidebars add unusual or interesting facts. However, some unique park features, such as Yellowstone's geysers and the Everglades's complex water system, aren't explained clearly, and several of the many colorful photographs are generic or not well matched with the text, factors that weaken the books' effectiveness.
