This activity book is awesome! It has many activities to do. I loved it as an adult and will be buying these for my kids on our upcoming road trip to a few of these parks. These are a fantastic addition to family road trips! Kids and adults alike will enjoy these fun activities. It’s informative and FUN! My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

Siber's activity book is filled with colorful illustrations of the animals, trees, and scenery kids will find in national parks. It would be a great gift for any road trip.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-Wide Eyed Editions for the opportunity to read an advance reading copy.

This adorable, wonderfully illustrated activity book will pair perfectly with Kate Siber's National Parks of the USA nonfiction picture book. While an activity book doesn't lend itself for library usage, I would recommend this activity book to any students/parents that enjoyed the original picture book. This would be a great book to complete together as a family while learning about and/or traveling around the US.

This is excellent for kids, the 8 year old grandchild loved the setup, and I even liked the facts included about each park, not overwhelming, but piquing more interest.
A lot of interactives making it a joy to actually learn a bit about the habitat, occupants, and wonders of each park.
Would recomend this no matter what, but especially if going on any road trips in the USA. Having the actual physical book, keeping the kid(s) entertained, along with the anticipation of seeing anything indigenous to a particular area, will make a vacation even more memorable for both kids and their adults.
This ebook was even good, though we couldn't actually write on the screen. It was time very well spent with the grand, and they didn't realize they were learning lol. Rated 5 stars by the Grand, and 4 from me bc I would've liked to have been able to know how to write in the ebook.

Simple but great resource for a beginner or for a trip. The activities will suit a variety of age and skill levels. The artwork is detailed and uses complementary colors.

This short activity book features lovely art and fun activities for kids who will be seeing one or more of the national parks of the US. Activities include a mad-lib, search-a-word, match the animal to its silhouette, circle which animal doesn't belong in each state park, and so on. It's best suited for younger kids. This could be a great companion book to a trip to a national park.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

An absolute visually stunning book! This is most beautifully illustrated activity book I've ever seen. There is a great blend of different types of activities from code breakers, mazes and even a create your own park. The puzzles are challenging enough for older children but not so much that with the help of an adult, younger children can enjoy as well. The colorful but muted illustrations help to attract interest but doesn't take away from the activities. A fun book on it's own but pairs wonderfully with "National Parks of the USA" by Kate Siber.

Thank you Quarto Publishing & Netgalley for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

A few different types of activities for kids to do to learn about what may be seen in a USA national park. Not a lot of activities but still pretty well put together.

I have an abiding and unusual interest in The National Parks of the U.S., especially considering I have visited only a handful in my life so far. I also love a certain type of art in books for children. This activity book combines both of these interests in one fun package. Though I enjoyed flipping through the pages, each with lovely illustrations, this book is really an activity book. With interactive pages like a maze, a crossword puzzle, word jumbles, and more, it is easy to imagine this book keeping a child occupied during a drive or flight, especially if the destination was one or more of the National Parks. Suitable for upper elementary, independent readers, this book is full of interesting facts about the parks, their landscapes, animals, and plant life. It could work with younger children, but it would require a lot of adult support. Overall, a fun and beautiful reminder of all the places we could go!

What a lovely book door young travelers, or national Park enthusiasts at any age. I'm a nerd for the parks and I want to share every moment with my young children now.

Great book to accompany travel. The description made me expect activities for older but the activities are aimed at young children.

Fantastic! I love this book! I'm impressed by the creativity and the assortment of activities, I only wish it was longer! The blank map at the very beginning, the true or false, the board game - I think all the activities are excellent. The only thing I would recommend is to put a target number in the 'spot the difference' activity, so the kids know when they have found them all. Great activity book!

The art is lovely and the information is perfect for the age group. I think this would be a great activity book for road trips, especially for families who want to get kids away from screens.My only side note would be that I know the ebook version is only for review but it made some of the activities impossible to do.

I would love to review your title but I don't do protect PDF files, just Mobi. If you like to provide a Mobi, I'd be happy to read and review.

I assumed this book would be interesting to younger people but found that even at my age...I'm a grandmother...the authors have done an excellent job of bringing together learning materials along with activities to make any trip to the National Parks much more enjoyable. Not only did we use the book on our trips, we used it to help plan the activities along the way.

There is an impressive range of puzzles in the book including code breakers, word searches, crosswords, mazes, spot the difference puzzles and more.  Geared to 7-10 year olds,  this title will keep kids happily occupied and entertained.  It is colorfully illustrated and engaging.  Definitely worth a look.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

Both my grandchildren had a lot of fun with all the activities provided while learning all kinds of cool and interesting facts. It's great for taking along on car rides and especially great at giving them a break from screen time. Not only is it parent approved but its kids approved as well. A definite win win.

What an awesome activity book! Perfect for family road trips to National Parks. The illustrations are gorgeous and activities look fun. It's chock full of information about animals and park environments. I would have loved this as a kid as my favorite vacations were to National Parks. I would suggest this for children 7 and up, especially ones who love animals!
