WAS a great book...and will be again.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the reviewer who said DINO-TREKKING was out of date. It is -- badly. And Wiley refused to allow me, the author, to revise it. But there is good news. Now that the rights have reverted back to me there will be a NEW Dino-Trekking from a new publisher on the way. So watch my website -- ... -- for an Amazon link to the version soon. And enjoy the old classic until that new book arrives. Best always...Kelly.

Information old and inaccurate
If this was an updated version of the book perhaps it would hold value.In ...[this time period] it is mostly frustration.My son and I spent hours writing to the various museums and organizations and even catalog recommendations in the book to get further information and to plan for an upcoming road trip.Most of the mail returned to us unopened!! ...Very disillusioning for my son.Even the "Dino Trekking" society the author supposedly belongs to is EXTINCT!The book is cute for kids and does list places in the U.S. that have fossils but it is inaccurate now.Some museums have combined or closed.If you use any information from this book please check on the accuracy, it is an old book. An excellent and fun resource...
If you love dinosaurs, you have to buy this book. It is well-written, colorfully illustrated, and an excellent guide to dinosaur exhibits aroundthe nation. The fact that this book sells so well on Amazon three yearsafter publication should attest to its merit. ... Read more

At look at the United States from the perspective of Tintin
"Tintin in America" was certainly an interesting look by Herg� at the United States, in that the country essentially consisted of gangster and Indians.Of course, this makes sense if you think about it from the perspective of a Belgian cartoonist creating a story in 1931 when Al Capone was notorious and the idea of cowboys and Indians, prohibition, all were part of the idea of "America."Consequently, this volume on the United States from the "Tintin's Travel Diaries" series takes the opportunity to set the record straight.Originally this volume was published in France (text by Chantal Deltenre and Martine Noblet, translation by Maureen Walker) which explains the interest in answering questions like "Is it called 'America' or 'The United States'?" to "What Sports Do Americans Like Best?"Thus we are confronted with a rare chance to see what they think about us in France (and if that is not an ironic idea given recent world events then I have no clear conception of the master trope of the universe).Read more

Prices are out of date...
The prices in this book are out of date - it was published in 2001 and in 2005 the prices across the board were about 30% higher.Budget conscious Las Vegas visitors will want to keep that in mind.
User Friendly!
This book is great if you plan on visting Vegas with the kids in mind.It gives a good description of the attractions, addresses, phone numbers, height restrictions, and prices.We've started checking off the things we've done in the table of contents.The only downfall is it doesn't really give a review of great buffets...only some suggestions of kid friendly eateries.

A thoroughly "kid friendly" guidebook
In the Kids' Guide To The National Parks Of California And Oregon, 12 year old Jenna Sullivan and her 14 year old sister Laura effectively collaborate to write a thoroughly "kid friendly" guidebook to the spectacular parklands of California and Oregon. These include Redwood National Park; Yosemite National Park; Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks; Pinnacles National Monument; Point Reyes National Seashore; Lassen Volcanic National Park, Lava Beds National Monument; and Crater Lake National Park. These descriptive text covers the geology, vegetation, and wildlife of the parks, along with the young authors' insights into natural resource issues like air pollution, acid rain, fire ecology, wildlife habitat, plant ecology, and resource management. Very highly recommended for any family planning to visit these west coast parklands, the Kids' Guide To The National Parks Of California And Oregon is enhanced with an introduction, a conclusion, an index, author bios, and four color plates.

so good it's hard to believe it's written by kids
As I read these two sister's enthusiastic descriptions of a number of national parks, I found myself forgetting that they were only kids.I'm a habitual reader of travel guides (otherwise known as the armchair traveler), so I feel qualified to say that this one is very refreshing.In fact, if you're thinking of travelling with your kids to any national park, you should pick up this book so you can see what it's like from their point of view.I particularly enjoyed the interviews with park rangers who treated their thoughtful questions very seriously and added a needed perspective on many parks.I'm impressed that two young kids were able to put together such a professional book -- I can only imagine what their next project will be! ...

Showing young students the world ofwonders at Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone was the first national park in the world and for most of its visitors it probably would be considered the best.I have only been to the park once and was surprised that you could decide to go on the relative spur of the moment (two weeks ahead of time and get a hotel room in the park).It was recommended that we take the north entrance into the park, which allows you to go through a mountain pass, and once there we saw all the sites, including a moose fording the Yellowstone River.Then there was the time a bison had cut off our path from the lake back to the restaurant (which is fun when you have two small children with you).The park is everything you have heard it is.
