Field Notes from Readers
“I loved this book. It is very inspiring. I can see how it would encourage kids to want to go to our state parks and to want to know more about them. The author gives a lot of information about many animals and natural wonders, like the geysers, in a cute way with Charlie Armadillo and his family. Along with the story and illustrations, this book is a great vocabulary builder for readers at this level.“
