by Carole Marsh, Gallopade, 2009
Siblings Grant and Christina visit Yellowstone National Park with their grandparents, Mimi and Papa, where they examine bubbling mud pots, geysers, and a volcano; and uncover a mystery. Suggested for grades 3-6.
I am a nature-lover and a mystery fan so the Real Kids, Real Places series is just perfect for me, and other readers with similar interests. The Carole Marsh mysteries take place in real locations around America - I just went to Yellowstone National Park last summer so the book brought back fresh memories and was especially fun to read.
- Research more about the natural features and wildlife found at Yellowstone National Park - America's super volcano.
- Visit the author's website for book activities for this series, including discussion questions, vocabulary words, and a scavenger hunt.
- Learn more about national parks: What national parks are in our state? What is the difference in a state park vs. national park; national park vs. national monument?
- National parks are often called "America's Best Idea" - do you know which president was influential in the creation of our national parks? Learn more about this president and his other great ideas.

P.S. Your librarian loves National Parks, I even worked for the National Park Service in Alaska during college in the summer. In the past year I've been to the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone National Park, and the Grand Canyon - they are all amazing and well worth the drive!
