National Parks of the USA

National Parks of the USA is the landmark treasury that brought America's natural beauty to a generation of young readers. With four new national parks and a spectacular four-page fold-out of the Grand Canyon, this must-have updated edition is THE best way to experience the national parks for yourself, wherever you are in the world.

Divided into seven regional chapters, this book includes all 60+ national parks, from Acadia to Zion. Twenty-five parks are featured in glorious four-page fact-files, giving young explorers the need-to-know info on the history, wildlife, adventure sports, and natural phenomena that the parks are home to.

Throughout, Chris Turnham's timeless postcard-perfect artwork makes the parks come alive on the page. See iconic vistas side-by-side with secret haunts as you encounter everything from billowing volcanoes in Hawaii to pristine trails in the Great Smoky Mountains. You'll boat through the swamps of the Everglades, take the temperature in Death Valley, and marvel at Old Faithful in Yellowstone, the place where it all started.

This new, updated edition, published to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, includes new features on four national parks: Zion, Indiana Dunes, White Sands, and New River Gorge.

Plus, the brand-new gatefold lets you see the Grand Canyon in all its majesty, before opening up the page to see it up close in an eye-popping panoramic illustration.
