Olympic (a True Book

This series includes an age appropriate (grades 3-5) introduction to curriculum-relevant subjects and a robust resource section that encourages independent study. Readers will visit Olympic National Park to tour the peninsula's beautiful landscapes and catch a glimpse of its many native plants and animals. They will also learn how the park came to be, how people are working to preserve its natural beauty today, and more.
