Mother Earth Rocks! A Kid's Guide to Yellowstone National Park, USA

Yellowstone National Park was duly established by the United States Congress and President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. It is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone, the first national park in the world, is known for its wildlife and its many active geothermal features, especially the Old Faithful Geyser.

This book is a kid's look at Yellowstone National Park. And like award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, and photographer John D. Weigand, you may be surprised at what you see. The earth and the sky are alive, singing with the water and the trees and the land.

This is a different kind of kid's picture book, and like all of the Dyan/Weigand kids' travel books, they are meant to be carried in hand as adult counterparts carry their own travel guides. The verse is meant to teach learning concepts as it increases basic reading vocabulary skills through repetition and rhyme, Most of all, this book is meant to prepare the littlest of the travelers before they begin that big trip!
