Synopsis

Waterfalls, giant sequoias, and majestic granite cliffs bring millions of people to Yosemite National Park each year. Found in eastern California, Yosemite is partly made up of the western Sierra Nevada mountains and has a variety of woodland and alpine habitats. With hundreds of miles of hiking trails and amazing natural views, Yosemite National Park is easy to show off in the full-color photographs in this volume. Readers learn how the park came to be as well as the climbing spots, wildlife viewing, and other activities that make Yosemite a great road trip stop.

About this title

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. VERDICT Supplementary choices for reports or pleasure reading.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
