I really enjoyed this book. It was different than anything else I've read recently. I couldn't put it down! I will keep an eye out for this author's future work!

This would make a really good companion for families with young children who are visiting any of our National Parks. I think it would be fun to use while traveling or once back home after the trip as a memory of your vacation.

Great book for children (and adults) who like adventures. Love the colors and the traveling that it gets kids excited about.

This was such a fun read for my me and my youngest daughter. We've been actively trying to visit more parks after visiting a National Sea Shore. We talked about where the National Parks are located (and how we might visit more out west next summer) and why they were created. This book is super accessible to littles (she's 3 and loved pointing things out).

Our family loves the National Parks and this fun adventure was a perfect way to celebrate them for us. We love how the story shows the fun colors of our world in each park along with an animal and the park they are from. This was perfect for my littles who love learning new things in a fun way. This was a creative way to teach colors, animals and more to children. . We loved the orange Gila monster from the Grand Canyon and the black bear from the Great Smoky Mountains, which is where we live. We were so happy to see it represented in the story. This was an ebook ARC for us but we will be adding this to our adventure collection at home. We can’t get enough of it. Your family will love it too. Makes a great gift. I also suggest it to be used in an early childhood classroom where the possibilities are endless for further learning.

A board book letting you learn colours, based on one thing vaguely that hue and a picture of one of the National Parks in the USA. Oftentimes the landscape doesn't bother including the plant or animal highlighted, and has little connection beyond being a place where it might be found. So yes we get a page and a critter or blossom and some text in the one colour we're learning each spread, but too often it seems the rest of the content – the Parks scenery – seems tacked on for too little reason.

“Colors of the National Parks,” rendered in magnificent full-color, breathtaking illustrations by Jenny Miriam is a perfect gift and study guide for all children as an easy to read and understand beginners reference about America the Beautiful in all of its marvelous majesty of nature and geology found throughout the United States in our National Parks System.

The renderings of Park features and landmarks are stunning and frame-worthy unto themselves, and the designs and details highlighting flora and fauna native to each makes this a terrific pictorial learning tool for youngsters and adults, alike.

JoyReaderGirl1 graciously thanks NetGalley, Illustrator Jenny Miriam, and Publisher Duopress / Duopress Kids, an imprint of Source Books for this advanced reader’s copy (ARC) for review.

<i><u>I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. </i></u>

the illustrations were bold and beautiful. the colors were great and we got to see some national parks and where they are located but my child wanted to see the colored image inside the park and was left a bit confused at where to find them in the pictures

I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley.
I appreciate the simple text and concept to introduce very young readers to the US National Parks. Each page spread offers one object/color to find in the more detailed picture of each Park. The colors are vivid and the artwork is realistic. This book can be revisited as readers mature - from simple color recognition to finding the item in the pictures to looking for each item when they visit the parks themselves. A delightful gift for young families.

Board book - really simple, colorful illustrations of national parks and the natural wonders you can find there. The selection seems a *little* random - it’s a mix of plants and animals. And I’m not sure about the bleeding tooth fungus! Is that really the best representation of Acadia? But the map at the front is really cool, and would make a great poster for a preschool or kindergarten classroom.

Cute book. My digital version didn't work well with my arc app so I kind of hope there's more discussion on the printed book regarding why they chose the color and which park, or park name in the picture but even without those things the book would be cute for little travelers.

The author highlights various objects located in the National Parks, and than mentioned the National Park it is located in.

A fun way to introduce young babies and toddlers to the majestic world of the national parks and some of the plants and wildlife that live in those parks. A fun board book that teaches colors. I also loved that Miriam's art is based on real locations and animals or plants that would be in each of the national parks featured in the American West.

A cute and simple little board book to share with little ones to learn about colors and where they can be found in nature. Nine colors are introduced and linked to National Parks. Very colorful illustrations and limited text make it perfect for a beginner library. Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebook Kids for the advanced copy for review.

Brown elks cruise the land in Yellowstone while black bears roam Yosemite. The green cactus thrives in Zion, and the white-tailed ptarmigan flies high above the Rocky Mountains.

Come with us on a trip around America’s national parks, a world full of colors, wildlife, and incredible landscapes. With simple text and bright illustrations, this sturdy board book is the perfect introduction to the ten most visited national parks in the United States for curious babies and toddlers.

Colors of the National Parks isn’t just about colors. It also introduces young readers to different animals, trees and other facets of science and nature across our homeland. Each park seems to have been chosen for its diverse flora and fauna, as well as notoriety and geographic location.

The parks featured in this book are only a small snippet of what this beautiful country has to offer. The map at the front of the book shows readers where they will be visiting. Of course, this book would be nothing without the stunning illustrations which brilliantly set the scene for each location, showcasing different colors and textures for each highlighted object found in nature. What the book lacks in words and descriptions is made up for in the way each image pops off the page.

If readers are too young to understand the concept of travel, hopefully, this book will inspire parents to show their kids what travel can look like—in all its natural glory!

This cute children’s book takes you traveling across the United States teaching children the different colors.

Cute and simple book that helps children learn their colors and how they correlate to nature. This had nice bright colors to keep the child interested and would make a great first book!
Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review!

There were names of the colors and where they could be found in national parks. I was disappointed that there were only illustrations and not real pictures. There was no information about the national park itself, so that was also disappointing.

My kids (age 3 and 5) and I loved this book. The colors and illustrations were beautiful. I do wish there was a short little fact about each park. However, I loved how each park had something specific thing to match the color to the park.

This book is a fun way to introduce young children to the National Parks. I loved that this book included many of my favorite parks. The illustrations are fun and the book kept my toddler engaged.
