The buffalo, an American icon once nearly extinct, has made a comeback. This stirring picture book tells the dramatic story, following bison from the Plains Indians to the cowboys, Teddy Roosevelt to the Dust Bowl, and from the brink of extinction to the majestic herds that now roam our national parks.

great for kids going to the prairie submitted by ginarae3 on August 20, 2017, 10:41pm My 11 year old and I read this together before traveling to a bunch of national parks in the west. We both enjoyed it and learned a lot. The illustrations are very nice.
