5.0 out of 5 stars National Park Enthusiest, June 1, 2007
Super book ! I have used a number of guidebooks, so when someone offered to loan me a copy I was skeptical at first. Now I am ordering a copy of my own. This will really help me organize my upcoming North Dakota trip.
The writing was engaging and I think the author gave a good overall sense of the place. I think most people would want to go there for many of the aspects covered. I want to get into the history and hope to see lots of animals.
It was especially good to know that there are possible side trips that look like fun nearby. I almost always get to talk to other people who try to " make the rounds " of the National Parks so now I think I could give them some good tips that I read about.
Next time, I'm going to look at the Falcon book first because it was very clear and got me excited. Some of the others look good to start with but when you get down to it they get carried away with too many things that I think would be boring to most of us. It was easy to go to the index when I wanted to find something specific. And my son will probably get a kick out of the questions in the back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explore! Theodore Roosevelt National Park, June 27, 2007
My brother who lives in Minnesota is traveling with his family to the Dakotas this summer. So I have been doing a bit of research for him on sites to visit. I was delighted to come across this recent publication of perhaps one of the lessor known but yet very interesting national park in the Dakotas. What I like most about this book is the vivid picture it creates of the park. It enables me to vision what I will see and hear if I were to hike and drive through the park. The way the book is organized provides a pictoral flow to what one will see when touring both the north and south sections of the park. The maps provide a helpful macro view of the park and the clear directions in the text of the book make touring the park see quite manageable for a family.

I like the personal inviting writing style of the author and the many side bars that offer interesting historical accounts, information about the geography and geology, as well as, animal life on the high dessert praire. I look forward to sending the book to my brother and hope that he adds Theodore Roosevelt National Park to his summer travel plans.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little about a lot of things, April 26, 2008
By Arthur Digbee (Indianapolis, IN, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is a minor gem of the national park system. Something like half of its "visitors" do no more than stop at a rest area on I-94 that is nominally within the park, where they enjoy the vistas into Painted Canyon. Most of the rest go on a scenic drive through the South Unit, where they enjoy seeing a high density of Great Plains animals such as bison and prairie dogs. Fewer still visit the North Unit, about 90 minutes away, with distinct badlands and a somewhat different suite of animals. Only a few dozen make the difficult drive to the Elkhorn Unit, which protects the site of Roosevelt's cabin.

Novey has given us an enthusiastic invitation to visit the park, written at about a middle school reading level. He provides a little bit of information about everything, from wildlife and geology to driving routes and hiking trails. All this information is available once you're in the park, and most of it is also available on the park website ([...]). But here the information is helpfully collected in a book. The book has nice pictures, some helpful maps, and even a quiz at the end.

About two-fifths of the text talks about things to do elsewhere in the general region, which conveys the impression that there isn't enough to do at TRNP itself. That's probably right if you want only a driving tour. There are some pleasant surprises if you're willing to hike a few miles and not afraid of fording a shallow river.

There's enough information here to help you find those places. But I wish the book went into greater depth about the park.
