Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This was a fun activity guide that’ll keep kids engaged trying to find the differences and coloring to their heart’s content among the fun ideas and games in this book. I like that the states are listed by each national park as well.

Review to come May (probably May 8th, but I am still waiting for some confirmation on tours) I wish I could post it earlier but my blog is already crammed with reviews until late May, this was the earliest spot I could find.

I received this book from Netgalley/publisher in exchange of an honest review.


I just couldn't resist this book! I just love reading about America's National Parks and learn all about them. Sadly, I will never see them in real life, haha, I just don't feel safe/OK to visit the US as it is right now. But thankfully there are books and shows and all that so I can still enjoy them a bit!

In this delightful book we travel through all the national parks of America. From East to West from North to South, we will get to read about some gorgeous and stunning places that host not only animals and beautiful hiking trails, but also have cultural heritage, Native Americans, and more! I just loved reading about each park and get a bit on their history, their climates, and what animals live there. I would love to visit several of them. 

This book is an activity book so as you may guess... packed full with fun puzzles, interactive bits, colouring pages, connect the dots, and many many more. A lot of them I couldn't do, sadly, because this is an ebook and not a physical book. It is a bit hard to colour something when it is on your screen. XD But I did do several puzzles that I could do and dreamed the colours that I would have used for several colouring pages. I loved the variety of puzzles and other fun things. It was great and I am sure that this one will be a big hit if you get it in physical! If you live in the US you could even take it with you while visiting and solve puzzles and such there! It will be a treat~

I love the illustrations/the colouring pages. The style was so fun, and at times... made me laugh~

I know that this is a US book, but still I would have liked to get some measurements in metres and the likes. I have no clue what x Fahrenheit means. We are not taught in school to convert one to another so I have no clue. And I wasn't in the mood to keep switching between my Netgalley app and my Chrome to check. 

All in all, I would recommend this one! I would have enjoyed it just a bit more if I could have done more of the fun things, but for now I am still happy!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Cute cover on this book!

This book starts with a very sweet note from the author describing why she decided to create this book inspired by her families trips to national parks along with a map of all the national parks. This introduction is then followed by activities for each national park. These activities could be fun for students to do as they visit the parks or even just as a book for them to work through with coloring and drawing activities and word puzzles like cross words and codes. This book is such a great way for children to learn about different animals in their area as well as throughout the United States. This book would be great to inspire children to want to travel to national parks and become more involved with nature!

What a fun book for fans of National Parks! My family visits a lot of National Parks and this activity book is perfect to take on trips. The book shows the locations of parks and separates them by region, the same as the National Park Service does. It has activities for each park you can do as you visit or on your own as you learn about the parks. It is a perfect companion to the Junior Ranger activities many National Parks have.

I can't wait to purchase a copy of this to take on our next family trip to a National Park.
I really liked all the topics and highlights of the parks that they included in this.
I know my children and family will enjoy this one.

Thanks NetGalley for viewing a copy of this book.

Thank you, Zeitgeist/Z Kids, for the advance reading copy.

With this fun activity book, you can explore all the sixty three amazing national parks in Amaerica!

I find the information crisp and interesting. Perfect for the reading ages, the book is filled with amazing colourful illustrations and fun, interactive exercises.

Worth it!

This activity book would be perfect for a road trip! I enjoyed that the puzzles and activities were different, with some National Parks including a drawing activity where others had a crossword or word search. I think this could be a great addition to learning about national parks or a good activity to keep kids occupied while traveling.

Fun with National Parks by Nicole Claeson is indeed super fun. It highlights 63 National Parks through the U.S. divided by region. It includes a helpful map, a brief description of what is special about each park, and two activities per park to complete.

The book is heavier on parks in the Western U.S. which I would love to see adjusted slightly to be more geographically balanced so those who don’t live or can’t travel out west can get equal enjoyment from the book. The age range is listed as 6-10 but I would adjust that slightly to 5-9. This would be too easy and not as interesting for my 10 year-old guy.

For a slightly younger age, I love this book. It’s simple, fun and the illustrations are in a comic style that most kids will love. It’s not too wordy and the two activities for each park are a nice balance of artistic, cerebral, easy, and challenging.

This book would be perfect for a National Parks road trip and can be kept to use on future trips as long as the kids are within the appropriate age range.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Quite a long book for kids, but with all the nice quizzes they will breeze through it in no time.
it just gives me a nice feeling.
Thank you the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for sending me this e-ARC.

This book is so fun for older kiddos! I can’t wait to take my girls to national parks and this will be great for getting them excited. National parks have so much to offer and this adds another level to that. The illustrations are also so fun.
