excellent informational book for kids

"This is a fabulous introduction to national monuments all over the USA, from the Statue of Liberty to Stonewall to Muir Woods. Each monument has tons of information and interesting facts about its history, plant and animal life, and notable features. The illustrations are really pretty somewhat stylized paintings like one might find on old-fashioned travel posters. They invite the reader into the story. Each fact has an accompanying small illustration, which breaks up the page nicely and also draws the eye from fact to fact. For any kid interested in history, nature, or travel, this would be an excellent book to explore. I plan to read it with my 9-year-old soon and think that he will really enjoy it. I received a review copy of this book."

A Great Resource

"There are so many books about the National Parks that it’s nice to see one about the lesser known (but not less amazing) monuments of the US. Being a NPS stamp collecting fiend, I have been to most of these places but it’s great to see these highlighted. There are lots of facts packed into each section that are easy to understand and showcase what makes the monument special. When the need arises, there are matter of fact explanations of controversial topics that skirt the controversy and define topics in an approachable way. The illustrations are fantastic and truly capture the monument and its’ various sites. The geographical sections make it easier to plan trips to several at the same time. Lots of research and love went into this book and it’s a great resource for parents planning a trip and getting their kids excited for it. Highly recommended!"
