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.

Beautifully illustrated tour of U.S. National Monuments! I love how this book balances celebrating U. S. history with acknowledging the hard truths of our past with which we’re still grappling. I was so pleased to see Stonewall and and Tule Lake included, as well as the harm caused by the American Indian residential schools. It’s a wonderful starting point for discussions with my children and the illustrations are inclusive. In addition, it’s full of wonderful information about animals and plants, and strikes the right balance between text and illustrations. We love this book!

This is a nice book to introduce kids to some of the national monuments of the U.S. There are lots of maps and graphics, plus lots of information. The art and colors are the style that will appeal to many adults but I’m not sure how much kids will be drawn to it. I remember being a kid and hating when books were illustrated in muted, dreary colors. That also takes away from what these places really look like too, in my opinion. I’ve been to many of these and it felt like the 1970s colors of this book failed to capture how beautiful they really are in person. I seem to be in the minority here though, and do concede that the art is great — it just felt one note and like every site ended up looking like a dust bowl era state. Check it out with your kids and see what you think. Either way it’s a great resource.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book via NetGalley.

Gorgeous. Well-written. In-depth and wide-ranging interests. A variety of topics and monuments, with appeal to all aspects of our national identities.

The big one that's missing (in my opinion) is the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

But the book does say this is a place to start! A book to spark interest and become a point of new discovery and exploration - of our lands and our histories!

Well done.

This illustrated book was a great primer on several of the USA's historical monuments. I learned quite a few facts I did not already know and I really enjoyed the illustrations.

Very pretty illustrations of a wide variety of national monuments. I thought it was especially interesting that Stonewall was included.

Thinking of traveling with kids this summer? Looking for some focus for your trip? Here is a wonderful compendium of the country’s national monuments. It is well illustrated and packed with information. Just right for travelers both real and virtual.

I was immediately drawn to this title by its gorgeous cover. It shows clearly that there will be much to see in these pages, including the Statue of Liberty and The Golden Gate Bridge. And, of course, there are many more in this title that is organized by geographical region. Note that the graphics inside this title also are designed to draw the visitor in.

I highly recommend this book. Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is both a beautiful and highly educational book. I enjoyed reading about so many different places. The illustrations are fun and I liked the muted colors. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys travel and likes to learn about history.

Well, this is a great thought to cover all the national monuments under one binding. There must be more books like it on different subjects. I wish for one in same pattern rather than descriptive for India also. But hold on.. no book can contain the history of anything in India unless there are nth volumes.
Okay, let's get back to USA.
I liked the way Cameron collected all info in one book to let all have better induction on national monuments of USA. His catalog with inclusive of data on the year they have been made one and also what they are for, tells enough to let one keep adventure in mind and cover all, soon.
For illustrations, I would say art was incredible but the choice of fitting words over it was too bad on many pages.

This is a fantastic non-fiction book to have in a home or school library! My son goes camping with my parents across the USA and loves National Parks, so I already have the first book in this series at my home. This book focuses on National Monuments and is just as good! The information contained in the book is fantastic, but it's the illustrations that send this book over the top for me. Digitally produced, they are colorful, detailed, and beautiful. I think I spent more time looking at the pictures than reading the words! I also appreciated how this book intentionally shone a spotlight on historically marginalized populations by including sites such as Stonewall, Japanese Internment Camps, and Civil Rights hotspots.

This book combines beautiful artwork with science, history, and adventure that is sure to be a hit with children and adults alike. I read a digital copy and cannot wait to purchase a hard copy for my school and home. Thank you to Netgalley and Wide Eyed Editions for providing a digital Advanced Reader's Copy!

This book is colorful and full of pictures. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

🗽The best thing about this book is how versatile it is. It is a history book, a travel book, and a nature book all wrapped up in one!

🗽 The book contains fantastic illustrations of some of the amazing U.S. National Monuments, along with wonderful facts about each place and some activities, too.

🗽 Some of the monuments covered include the Statue of Liberty, Jewel Cave, Chiricahua National Monument, Rainbow Bridge, Craters of the Moon, Devil’s Tower, Muir Woods, Mount St. Helen’s, Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, the Misty Fjords, and so many more!

🗽 I think kids and adults would love this book! It is great for learning about some of the interesting and fascinating places of historical or natural significance that our country has to offer. It would be a great resource for your travels if you are planning to visit any of the monuments included in the book.

Thank you @netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group/Wide Eyed Editions for an eARC of this book, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Beautifully illustrated and explained. There's a lot of love in this. I really like the tones used. Thank you the author, the publisher, and Netgalley for sending me this e-ARC.

My son and I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed how the book was broken down into sections of the USA. It provides concise and informative explanations about the monuments, national parks, and historic information about people in our pasts that have made an impact on our society. The art and the level of illustrations was great because it keep me interested and my son as well. I learned a lot as an adult reading the book. In the back is an appendix with the list of special and historic places listed in the book. If you are looking to educate yourself about the US or even your children it is a good book.

Adorable mid-century inspired artwork by Chris Turnham makes this children's travel guide to select national monuments a delight. The book is divided geographically, and presents some of our most popular, most famous, and most recent national monuments in an engaging manner that is sure to interest both adults and the children for which the book was written. Colors are slightly muted but very pleasing, with postcard-sized sidebar illustrations of fun facts about the flora, fauna, and history of the monuments. The book starts off with the Statue of Liberty, but then goes to Stonewall, one of our newest national monuments. The explanation of why Stonewall was deemed important enough to become a national monument is low key and child-appropriate; it simply says in 1969 certain people were discriminated against and in 1969 at Stonewall, people started an uprising. Ultra conservatives may find the use of LGBTQ+ and the inclusion of Stonewall reason to ban the book, but I think it's a fantastic choice and well handled by the author and the illustrator. Rousing applause for the diversity and inclusivity in this book. Adults and children of all colors are represented, and there is a very subtle illustration of a gay couple (one black, one white) on the Stonewall page. The civil rights movement and monuments in Birmingham are featured, but so are archaeological monuments like Pipestone, Montezuma Castle and Bandalier, and amazing natural landscapes like Rainbow Bridge and Muir Woods. We learn about historic houses, insects and bears and fish, even dinosaurs, and famous and some not-quite-as-famous but just as important people who helped make American history. An absolute gem of a book.

From natural formations to man-made structures, National Monuments of the USA celebrates (and educates) through a diverse sampling of historically, culturally, and scientifically important landmarks in the United States. Packed with maps, facts, and rich imagery, this book takes readers on an epic journey through more than two dozen federally protected sites including caves, homes of important people, vast areas of wilderness once inhabited by indigenous peoples, forts, and the deepest depths of the ocean.

Young readers are in for a real adventure! From the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate Bridge to lesser-known geographic wonders, National Monuments of the USA provides a diverse sampling of the country’s most protected places.

Young readers will appreciate the way this book is organized, grouping each of the featured National Monuments into eight distinct regions. Additionally, finer details like dates and historical context help readers gain a deeper understanding of the monuments and their significance. Equal parts education and fun, this book will inspire travel, conservation, and adventure!

This is perfect! The pictures and graphics are eye catching and interesting. It will make you catch the travel bug and want to see all of these places. It covers the whole country and shows you places you know, maybe some you've been to, but also some you may never heard of. Fascinating information and well done!

This nonfiction book exploring the various National Monuments of the USA is very well done. There is a true love for nature that shines through with each monument explained. The illustrations are wonderful, almost giving a wistful feel to the book as if you had already been there and these are memories. Having been to some of the monuments mentioned, I find the depictions very accurate. I believe the layout of the book is interesting as well. There is an overview of each monument and then there is a detailed page that goes more in-depth. Depending on the child's attention span you can do both or just the overview. It seems like a great read to do one section per day or even one monument per day to build the child's excitement.

This book is a great all-ages non-fiction resource about The National Monuments of the US. The art is gorgeous and I particularly liked the maps.

This book is super informative with beautiful and multiple illustrations for each monument. It's sectioned off by geographical region which is a nice way to keep it organized and has a good mix of historical monuments, social monuments (like civil rights monuments/Stonewall) and natural land (like Pipestone). I think this book does a great job of balancing delicately between the Native and colonization history of the US with how it treats the national monuments, especially in the National Parks. The US has a complicated history and a very diverse land and I think this book does a good job of picking what to showcase.

Thanks to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
