Yellowstone : A National Park Primer

Vivid color photography and rhythmic verses make this primer the perfect introduction to Yellowstone National Park.

With eleven brilliant color photos of wildlife, geysers, and scenery, this board book is a great way to show the marvels of Yellowstone National Park to very young children. Each photo is paired with a delightful rhyming verse that educationally describes a feature of the photo''s subject, from "stinky" thermal springs to "knobby-kneed" moose. Each image was taken in Yellowstone by noted photographer Christopher Cauble; the rhymes were written by Christopher and his wife, Sarah; and the book was designed by Sarah. They created the book to share the wonders of Yellowstone with their young daughter. Yellowstone: A National Park Primer is a wonderful introduction to Yellowstone and to nature for pre-school, beginning readers.

Sample rhymes:

If you patiently wait

and the time is just right,

Old Faithful erupts

to a towering height.

Find moose in marshy meadows

or beneath the shade of trees.

They wade through the water

with long legs and knobby knees.
