This book has beautiful illustrations, but no actual pictures of the monuments. There is a lot of information and it would be a great resource in a library, but I do not see a child actually sitting down and reading it. I think that it could be used as a tool, but it is not really a kids book.

Really cool! Perfect for families planning a trip, families that wish they could travel but can't, and teachers of all levels. Amazing info and fun graphics. You don't want to miss this!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing/Wide Eyed Editions for the eARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This was a fascinating book. Full of information and fun facts. Would highly recommend. 4 stars

This was a very interesting book. Well laid out and easy to navigate, with lots of interesting facts and information. Recommend

Wow there is a lot of information I had no idea about some well known monuments. This is super interesting for all ages. Very cool illustrations too!!!

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.

Cameron Walker's National Monuments of the USA has provided happy and instructional moments with my 9-year-old granddaughter! She has learned more about a few places she has visited and the places she may someday travel.

Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Wide Eyed Editions for an advance reader copy of this informative children's travel book.

This book is very well organized and laid out in an easy to follow way. The illustrations are vivid and it's chock full of fun facts and information.

I thought this was such a great book. I love the illustrations and I love reading a little bit of each monument and how they came about. It was such a great fast pace read. I think this will be a great non fiction to read all the way through and such a great coffee table kind of book.

Very informative, balanced and interesting. I appreciated the richness and accessibility of the information, which makes it an entertaining read both for children and their parents. Recommended to anyone curious about the national monuments in the USA, as an institutional system and as per the content.

"National Monuments of the USA" by Cameron Walker is a captivating and informative book that beautifully showcases the remarkable national monuments across the United States.

Walker's book not only educates but also delights readers with its stunning visuals and engaging writing style. The photographs and illustrations within the book are breathtaking, capturing the grandeur and natural beauty of each monument.

Each of the books in this series have become coffee table books for our family. And this one will be no different. It is filled with nonfiction goodness….beautiful artwork, interesting facts and research arranged in an approachable way. And all the while, this book is engaging for all ages. A must have, in my opinion, for those that love road trips, history, and learning more about our lesser known and visited National Monuments.

There are so many amazing opportunities to explore and learn in this book. I loved a few things about this one.
First, how it is organized! It is set up by section and each location is shown on a small map. This helps my kids get a better understanding of geography and connect each monument to a real place. Second, there is so much information about each monument! Each monument starts off with a story type write up that invites you into the space. Then the following page gives all the details from the location specific ones, human interest pieces, and the animals you may find when you visit. Third, I love the illustrations! They are a beautiful addition to this book.

We read this book in two ways, for my preschool age kiddo we read the introduction to the place and then whatever caught his eye on the following page. With my first grader, we read it all and used the map to orient ourselves to where we were. To me, the ability to use a nonfiction book in different ways puts it a step above the rest. When you can come back to it time and time again to revisit different parts and give your youngest learner just enough information on that first read but build on that when you read it again. We will be keeping this book on our homeschool list for when we study the United States. It will be a great resource.

... The only downside if my travel budget. Now I want to go to all these places!

Excellent book! I highly recommend this book if you are planning on visiting any National Monuments in the USA in the near future!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

National Monuments of the USA by Cameron Walker is a mesmerizing book that takes you on an awe-inspiring journey through American history and wild places...

The book is divided into eight chapters that cover the breadth of the US. The pictographic maps give you an idea of where each monument is located, while double-page scenes convey the beauty of the areas featured. The author does an excellent job of describing each monument, its cultural significance, and natural beauty.

One thing that makes this book stand out is its stunning illustrations. They make flipping through it a joyous experience. Additionally, it’s full of information about national monuments’ activities, making it an excellent resource for travelers planning to visit them.

However, one downside is that I found the font size to be too small at times. It made it hard to read for me personally.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a travel guide that showcases some of America’s most historically important and amazing places with stunning visuals and informative content, National Monuments of the USA would make an excellent addition to your collection or a perfect gift for anyone planning to travel soon!

National Monuments of the U.S.A. is a kid-friendly, illustrated book about historical monuments. The author provides amazing facts about not only the monument but the state and area in which the monument is located. I enjoyed “traveling” around the country on a virtual road trip. This is a perfect book for the entire family to enjoy. I don’t normally condone writing in books, but I could totally see myself grabbing the hardcover and writing in the dates I visited each monument. What a wonderful way to learn about the monuments, locations, history, animals and plant life.

A fascinating, informative book about National Monuments around the United States. This book is perfect for family road trips. The illustrations are gorgeous and there are so many neat facts about US monuments and history. I would suggest this for children 7 and up, especially ones who love to travel!

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-Wide Eyed Editions for providing this ARC.

FANTASTIC! 🗽

Wonderfully put together with great illustrations and very interesting facts. Highly engaging and informative. I learned a lot! Fantastic educational book for young readers 🇺🇲 Just loved it 🗽

This book is beautifully done. I have so enjoyed going through this book looking through the monuments. It goes really well with American history!

I love learning about the different National Monuments located around the United States. This book gives lots of information using small pictures and charts. The information is easy for kids to read and learn from. They can see that a finger on the Statue of Liberty is taller than a human. They can learn that Katahdin Woods and waters and the animals located there. And who would not want to go the National Mall and explore all the different museums after reading about them in this book. There are military forts all across the country that you can visit and learn about its history. So much fun learning taking place through this book.
