Welcome to Yosemite, a national park that is important to all Americans. Young children can learn about Yosemite with the age-appropriate text in this book. Concepts are gradually introduced with fact files, location maps and useful phrases so children learn about the plants, animals, and the wonderful sights found in Yosemite. Find out the height of the Bridalveil Fall and which mountain range runs through the park. The glossary will help you define words like 'granite' and the timeline will help you discover when President Abraham Lincoln protected the Yosemite Valley and the giant sequoias.
