by Laura Bush and Jenna Bush Hager
Jane and her three closest friends plan out their summer together. They know it is going to be just perfect, until... Jane's parents inform her that their family is going to spend the entire summer traveling together. Jane is NOT excited. She reluctantly goes along, but keeps her eyes and fingers occupied by texting her friends and using her iPad. Eventually, she fully engages and discovers the wonders of the world. She excitedly invites her friends over for a campout when she arrives home.
The night before I read this book, my husband and I were discussing what we'd like to do for our next family vacation. We decided that we'd like to start visiting various national parks. How confirming it was when I read Our Great Big Backyard, which follows a family on their Great American Road Trip to Everglades National Park, Big Bend National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Yosemite National Park. For ages four to eight, this book by former first-lady, Laura Bush, and her daughter, Jenna, will excite its reader or listener about exploring the wonders of creation in our stunning world by visiting the national parks. As an added treasure, there is a list of national parks classified by state at the end of the book.
