Animals of the National Parks An Alphabet Book

For nature lovers of any age, this book is a beautiful A-to-Z introduction to the wild and wonderful animals that live in America's national parks. Featuring art from the beloved printmakers and poster illustrators at Fifty-Nine Parks.

America's national parks are some of the most magical places in the world, and home to a diverse array of creatures, both well known and more unusual. From American Bison (which are also the largest mammals in the parks) to flying squirrels (which can glide the length of a football field) to Xeme (which take two full years to grow their adult feathers), this picture book takes children on an enchanting alphabetical adventure through the natural world.

The book features fascinating facts about each animal, including information on where they can be found. A passport page to record visits and an illustrated map of all the national parks will encourage children and their families to make the most of every trip. With beautifully evocative art that's nostalgic yet contemporary, this is a special gift for outdoor and national park lovers of all ages.
