Once again we continue our journey through the National Parks System with children’s book author and illustrator Sarah Del Grande. This time our tour guide is Lorelei, an adorable prairie dog with warm, friendly brown eyes sporting a khaki green warden’s hat. Lorelei is taking us through Badlands National Park in South Dakota, posing the question, what makes Badlands “bad”?
We travel through the park’s glorious vistas, stopping along the way to chat up some of Lorelei’s friends. We visit with a big brown bison, a wise owl and a sleek pronghorn antelope. They speak about the diversity of terrains, colors, weather, and plant life in the Badlands. Lorelei highlights the rich history of the park found in the abundance of fossilized remains.
Do we ever find out why the Badlands have garnered their less than flattering name? No, not really, but with the words and illustrations of author Del Grande, we do find the name a misnomer. The Badlands are anything but “bad” - dramatic landscapes, steep canyons, towering spires and an abundance of wildlife. A fun, rhyming children’s story, this is just a wonderful primer on the majesty of the park, one that certainly sparks the interest of the reader and encourages motivation to plan a visit. A book certain to captivate the interests of readers of any age.

About the author
Perfect Book for Visiting Badlands
My MIL bought this book and our entire family LOVED it (adults included)! We took it with us on our trip and kept recognizing places from the book. The text and drawings all prepared us for the amazing places we visited in Badlands.For fun, I included a picture I took on Window Trail! It looks just like the book (but luckily no rain)! We will be buying more in the series!

Nice rhyming story. It highlights several of the popular areas of Badlands and lots of the animals that visitors may see. Good introduction to the park for kids.
