A Close Up Look at Joshua Tree National Park Josie Zayac

This is the eighth book in the "Close Up" series of books about National Parks. Joshua, located in California, is made up of two deserts. See what types of plants and animals can survive this harsh climate. This delightful book encourages children of all ages to appreciate the wonders of nature- first close up and then taking a step back to see the bigger picture. The book contains beautiful color photographs taken by the author. With a sing-song rhythm of rhyming couplets and a page of facts about the park at the end, this book is perfect for preschool children, elementary classes, and English Language Learners but nature lovers of all ages will enjoy them.
