The Camping Trip That Changed America: Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Our National Parks by Barb Rosenstock
3.0
This is on the 2014 Monarch list.
It was wonderful to learn this history--how national parks were established because of the friendship between John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt. Some of the illustrations were gorgeous--the sequoia page, and the Yosemite Valley page. But overall, the artwork didn't do a whole lot for me. The storytelling wasn't great; there was too much to accomplish, maybe. Still very interesting. I'd love to hear what early elementary kids think of it.
