Welcome to the Great Smoky Mountains, a national park that is important to all Americans. Young children can learn about the Great Smoky Mountains with the age-appropriate text in this book. Concepts are gradually introduced with fact files, location maps and useful phrases so children learn about the plants, animals, and the wonderful sights found in the Smoky Mountains. Find out why the mountains are "smoky" and which beautiful sight can you see in the fall. The glossary will help you define words like 'salamander' and the timeline will help you discover which president officially opened the park in 1940.
