[Jo Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute family adventure in Yosemite. I love reading about national parks!

[Travis · Rating 2 out of 5]

This series about the Parker family's trips to various national parks and the dangers they encounter there are thoroughly hokey. Good literature they are not. However, they are a fun and engaging introduction to each national park. Still worth reading with the kids even if not very intellectually stimulating.

These books are cool because they have a hole bunch of information about the National Park its about.
