Reviews
"This covers nine of the parks ... and offers you a chance to visit them virtually by providing a treasure map containing illustrations from the parks. Plants, animals, and landmarks are listed in a key for each park for you to find on the seek-and-find map. It's like a Where's Waldo experience for National Park enthusiasts. The artwork is beautiful and I am tempted to attempt to transfer one of the maps to a wall in our house where I was planning on hanging maps of the world. This book highlights what is unique about each park."-- "GeekMom" (8/17/2020 12:00:00 AM)
