The Camping Trip That Changed America: Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Our National Parks by Barb Rosenstock

5.0

Used this as a read-aloud to kick off a teacher's unit on National Parks. I loved it, kids liked it. Gorgeous illustrations and a well-paced story (with a few boisterous parts) were a delightful way to learn about President Roosevelt's motivation behind his efforts to preserve the wild which ultimately led to the National Parks System. Focuses on John Muir and Roosevelt equally. I loved it, and didn't really know the story beforehand! Students were eager to learn more about Yosemite immediately after.
