History Comics: The National Parks by Falynn Kock (First Second Books) 5 stars

Publication date UK format 24/5/22 book 120 pages


I would like to thank the author, publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to pick this to read and review all my reviews are honest.




Synopsis


Let this graphic novel be your time machine—experience history like never before! Our past is only the beginning with History Comics. In this volume, turn back the clock to 1872, when Congress established Yellowstone National Park as an area of unspoiled beauty for the "benefit and enjoyment of the people." Meet the visionaries, artists, and lovers of the American wilderness who fought against corruption and self-interest to carve out and protect these spaces for future generations. See for yourself how the idea of National Parks began, how they've changed, and how they continue to define America.


My Review


This was a fantastic comic. I loved every second of it. Yes this is a comic for ages 9 plus. But that doesn't mean adults can't read and enjoy it because I loved it. I could really appreciate the messages this comic was trying to get across. I'm from the UK and didn't know any of the history of national parks in America. So I actually learnt alot from reading it. It was a great introduction to America's great history. Plus it's an excellent medium to use to get across to children of all ages. It's pictures was brilliant and loved the fact they used icon animal characters such as an Eagle and bigfoot. I really do recommend this comic to everyone who likes to learn history in a fun and exciting way. This book would be fantastic to any school library. I will definitely be looking out for more titles in this fantastic series to read and review for you all.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating this fantastic comic series that I just know children and adults will just love.
