Reviews

Readerly Mom

6.3/7

Gorgeous! The style and design of this book is so fantastic--not just the illustrations, but all the visual elements. It looks great, it feels great, and it reads great. There's a ton of information in here, but it's not too hard to read through each park briefly or go more in depth on one section. It's perfect for preparing kids for a trip or getting kids excited about geography and science!
