This book is very interesting. Each letter of the Alphabet is represented by an animal or object in one of the national parks in the United States. Then, on each page, the author gives facts about that park. For example: “E is for Everglades, miles and miles of saw grass and swamp, and smiling crocodiles”. Then, on this same page there are facts about the Everglades national Park in Florida. I feel that this is a good book for a classroom because the illustrations are very nice, and there are 26 different pieces of information about the National Parks in our country, so children from all over the country can learn about some of the most beautiful places in the United States.

Travel through the alphabet and around the nation with this enchanting book for readers of all levels.

Yes, it is an alphabet book. And like all of the other books in this series, it has a short verse in rhyme for each letter, connected with the theme of the book. But there is much more. The brilliant and detailed illustrations are complimented by sidebars with much more detailed historical and cultural information about each locale. And that is what makes this series enjoyable for three-year-olds as well as older siblings and adults.

This volume looks at our national parks, and author Domeniconi finds something, and usually more than one thing, to say for each letter from A to Z. Who knew Joshua Trees live to be 800 years old? Or that that Dry Tortugas National Park is actually mostly under water? ( )
