Yellowstone: A National Park Primer (Board Book) (ISBN-13: 9781606391358)

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.
