- Which national park was America's first, and what hot-water
features will you find there?
**- In which national park would you find rock formations called the
Witch's Finger and the Devil's Armchair?
- And what exactly is a saguaro, almost 2 million of which can be found
in its namesake national park?**
From the high peaks of the Rockies to the lows of Death Valley, from the
Statue of Liberty in the East to the redwood forest of the West, and
from the panoramic views of the Grand Canyon to getting up close and
personal to wildlife in Yellowstone, Basher invites you to take a
journey through some of the United States' most spectacular national
parks, recreation areas, and preserves--and take in a few national
monuments while you're at it! Paddle a canoe through the Everglades, zip
down gypsum dunes at White Sands, and count the brown bears at Katmai.
There's no end to the natural wonders you'll see.
Perfect for home or school, Basher's highly original books make
difficult concepts tangible, understandable, and even lovable. Chatty
first-person text and stylish, contemporary character illustrations give
a voice, personality, and story to each topic--a brilliant way to
communicate science, history, and geography.
