Yellowstone National Park

Chris Bowman takes on an impressive undertaking of providing elementary age readers with the who, what, where, when, and why of the Yellowstone National Park in 32 pages of color photos and text.

Bowman gives basic facts and visuals on the Yellowstone National Park, the third most visited United States National Park in 2021, while not being a travel vacation advertisement.

Bowman includes: plants and animals (p 12-15), history of peoples in the area (p 16-21), how the geysers erupt (p 8-9), top sites (p 22-23), and perhaps most importantly protecting the park from too many visitors and climate change (p 24-27).

Bowman also includes graphics of 6 park facts, food web, and a timeline (p28-29).
