Captions provide captivating information about the wildlife . Did you know that Everglades National Park is home to marsh rabbits who paddle through its swamps searching for herbs, flowers, and other plants to nibble on? Or that the pronghorn antelope of Badlands National Park are the continent's fastest land animals, sprinting up to 60 miles per hour to escape predators like bobcats and coyotes?

Great gift book for young readers and even younger picture-admirers.
Absolutely stunning color artwork—the (slightly abstract) art looks very inviting and will hold a young reader’s attention (and parents’ too). Including art depictions of the wildlife along with each nat’l park’s best-known landmarks & features makes this book very enticing!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
