If you're traveling to one of our country's beautiful parks with kids this summer then make sure you get a hold of a copy of National Geographic Kids: National Parks Guide U.S.A.  This kid-friendly guide is packed with interesting facts and beautiful pictures, and divided up conveniently by region. This book is sure to get your child excited for your planned trip or for a possible vacation in the future!

Do you dance, play tag, or leap? Animals do too. Each action is compared between humans and animals, with expanded information on each behavior and the animal in the back of the book.  The question and answer format makes for great fun for those in PreK- Grade 2.  

Mary Anning was a 19th century English fossil collector. She has been described as the "greatest fossilist the world has ever known."  Despite that there's not a lot of information about her youth, other than the fact that she was poor. The author has created a compelling story of her life.  If you like dinosaurs and fossils, you'll enjoy this book.  Recommended for grades 2-5.
