Every week I like to sit down with my grandchildren and read books to them or have my grand daughter read books to us. It’s extremely important that we instill the love for reading to our children or grandchildren at a very early age.
We love storybooks, picture books, activity books and we really enjoy reading any type of educational book like the kind you find with National Geographic Kids. For this book review, we received the following:
Title: National Parks Guide U.S.A.
By: National Geographic Kids
ISBN: 978-1-4263-2314-0
Cover Price: $14.99 U.S.A.
Book Synopsis: National Geographic Kids National Parks Guide U.S.A. takes kids on a journey to National Parks across the United States, divided neatly by region: East, West, Southwest and Midwest. Each region is broken down park-by-park with maps showing visitor centers and other attractions, lists of must-do activities, fun facts and more, the perfect road trip companion. Young explorers will especially delight in the parks of special interest, such as “spooky” sites like Alcatraz or Great Sand Dunes National Park, known for its UFO sightings. The guide also aims to raise preservation awareness, offering conservation tips and detailing the best parks in which to spot endangered species like gray wolves and California condors. Color photographs, packing checklists and suggested bicycling & spelunking excursions round out this comprehensive guide.
My Thoughts: We take our 6 1/2 year old grand daughter traveling with us on a regular basis. Matter of fact, she’s quite the seasoned traveler at her young age. When we travel, I like to get educational travel books like this for her to read right before we go or for her to read while we’re traveling. They keep her entertained and she loves getting ideas from the travel books on things for us to see and do while we’re there.
The National Geographic Kids National Parks Guide U.S.A. is the most comprehensive national parks book for kids that I’ve ever seen! The book covers National Parks in the United States and several U.S. territories like Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. There are National Parks in this book that I’ve heard of and many that I haven’t…so it was a great learning experience for me too!
This book is absolutely fantastic and the kids can really learn a lot by reading it. The photography and photos are beautiful, and everything is laid out in an easy-to-read format. We give it a big 2-thumbs up!

I re-pinned on Pinterest: National Geographic Kids National Parks Guide U.S.A
Mount Rushmore is amazing.
always wanted to see yellowstone
I re-pinned your pin: Gnoments: Bringing the Magic Back into Relationships, to my Valentine’s Pinterest board. I think they’re so cute!
I had commented but don’t see it here, so will comment again. Yes I have visited Yellowstone and it still is one of my fave National Parks. We always vacationed out West during the summer to visit relatives in Colorado and always stopped at the National Parks, as many as we could.
I like to go to Starved Rock right here in Illinois every summer. It is so beautiful.
I have been to several national parks, especially when I was a child. My family and I did a lot of traveling on the road! One of my favorites was Yellowstone. 🙂
I would love to got to glacier park
I commented on pin Slow Cooker ‘Melt in Your Mouth’ Pot Roast ~ This pot roast is perfect for a hearty, slow dinner at the end of the day. Every component brings the dish its pure perfection.

I have been to state parks but not national parks. Yellowstone sounds fun.. Not sure if Mammoth Cave is a national park but my hubby went there when he was younger and has painted a picture so we all want to go now!
I have been to several, but Yellowstone is my favorite.
I have not visited one of the National parks but would love too. I love these National Geographic magazines for the kids & me.
I have not, but I’d love to some day.
I haven’t visited any of the national parks but we have been talking about doing a cross country road trip and going to Yellowstone.
you made me stop and think I have not visited any national parks but would love to go to Yellowstone
I have been to many National Parks, really I couldn’t name them all. My favorite was Sequoia National Park.
I visited Grand Canyon National Park, Arcadia and Everglades. Soo very beautiful. Hope I get a chance to visit more.
Yellowstone National Park is practically in our back yard. We love it.
I have been to Yellowstone.
I’ve been to Rocky Mountain and Mammoth Cave. They are both great, but Mammoth Cave was with my grandkids so I really enjoyed it.
I don’t think we have been to any national parks.
I have visited Yosemite and it was magical. I have also been to Yellowstone but that was so long ago I can hardly remember it. We need to go again and soon.

I went to Yosemite National Park years ago during the seventies. It was beautiful to see.
I pinned the high quality children’s shoes from Umi shoes.
Recently visited Yosemite and it was spectacular. Have also been to Glacier many times but not yet gotten to Yellowstone so that is on the list.
When I was 13 years old my parents took me across the US and we stopped at several National Parks, including Yellowstone. I loved Yellowstone the most.
