As a National Geographic Kids Insider, I received these books to facilitate this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
If your kids love exploring the outdoors, check out these amazing educational books from National Geographic Kids.
National Parks are important to me. As a college student, I had two experiences with parks. First, I interned at a park and had a great behind-the-scenes experience. Next, I worked with another park to create awareness about its preservation efforts.
Even though I had these experiences in the 1990s, they impacted me. I gained a deep appreciation for our parks and the important roles they play in communities and in our country.
From first person experience, I can tell you that our parks are so much more than woods and hiking trails. Each park serves a purpose. They are protected spaces that can teach you so much about our country, nature and history.
Did you know the National Parks Service has a BIG birthday coming up? This August, it will be 100 years old! You can find out more about it on their Web site.

My daughter had a fun day pretending to be a park ranger. She put together a park ranger uniform and gathered her camping toys.
