Product Description
Are you interested in Yellowstone or planning a trip to the park? If so, you’ll love Yellowstone National Park for Kids, Preteens, and Teenagers. Inside this detailed travel guide geared toward children, you’ll learn all you need to know about America’s first national park. For example, did you know that: Yellowstone was discovered by John Colter in the early 1800s but for over fifty years, most Americans did not believe the reports of steaming hot springs and bubbling mudpots? Yellowstone is one of the world’s biggest active volcanoes? The hot underground magma is what causes the geysers to erupt and when you visit Yellowstone you actually go inside the volcanic caldera. Both black bears and grizzly bears can be found in Yellowstone and they are omnivorous which means they eat both plants and animals? Old Faithful erupts about every ninety minutes to heights of over one hundred feet? Early visitors to Yellowstone used to catch fish in Yellowstone Lake then dip them into Fishing Cone Geyser to cook them? Yellowstone National Park for Kids, Preteens, and Teenagers includes easy-to-read descriptions, photographs, and diagrams of the park’s wildlife, history, and geology and it highlights some of the best hikes and attractions for children visiting Yellowstone. It also includes several Yellowstone themed word games and puzzles, an animal checklist, and a packing list geared toward children, preteens, and teenagers. Even parents and other adults will benefit from this entertaining and educational book. Please visit us on the web at www.grandeguides.com. |

13-year-old Didn't Like It by Carolyn V. Medendorp  2 Stars
April 05, 2009
My 13-year-old grandson glanced through the book and tossed it back with a bored look. He commented, "It's just a tourist brochure." I have to agree the book isn't visually interesting with only a few illustrations and no interesting typography. The content is adequate but nothing more than you'd get from free tourist information.

Yellowstone National Park by hsmomma (OK)  5 Stars
September 11, 2008
This was an informative book about Yellowstone explained in a way children could understand. We read this before going to Yellowstone and it helped us be informed about what we were seeing!

Interesting to kids by Pepper (Raleigh, NC USA) 5 Stars
June 23, 2008
I browsed the book and found some interesting background, appropriately pitched to kids and pre-teens. Perhaps even more indicative of its quality is that our first grader picked it up and became engrossed. Afterwards, she engaged her brother in a game of exploring "geezers" (geysers). Provides good information in preparation for a trip to Yellowstone and for day trips while there.

good for kids by Sam-I-Am 5 Stars
June 21, 2008
A very useful guide to Yellowstone and surrounding area. Unique in that it is written for use by kids (maybe ages 8-12 mostly). However, it is complete enough to really be useful for adults in planning a trip with your kids to the park.
Sections on the types of geothermal features, the major animals - then an area by area guide to the major features. Many useful tips. Nice photos from the national park service.
Great to buy before you go to get your family psyched for the trip.
Includes a few word search games for use in the car.
