best Yellowstone book for kids

I've visited Yellowstone every year for 34 years. This is the best small book to introduce pre-school to fifth graders to the park before they visit or while they are there. Petersen writes at a level they can read by themselves. His facts are correct. He covers the history and the animals and plants of Yellowstone well. I'm reading it to my four and six year old grandsons before we visit this summer. It would also be good for use in primary classrooms before they study National Parks, the West, Wyoming, Habitats or North American Wildlife.
