To celebrate the centennial of the national parks, children's
author-illustrator Martha Day Zschock has created Journey Around Our
National Parks. Discover the fascinating story of the preservation of
over 400 special places in our country, including: Yellowstone, the
Great Smoky Mountains, Mount Rushmore, the Florida Everglades, and the
historic sites in our nation's capital. Designed to introduce kids to
our national parks as if they are on a field trip, Zschock's whimsical,
detailed illustrations and meticulously researched history--enhanced by
quotes from prominent nature lovers--will captivate children of all
ages, from the youngest lap-reader to the adults who read to them. The
book has been aimed at the fourth grader, helping to support the Every
Kid in a Park initiative, but is suitable for children ages six and up.
