In this #35 hardcover edition of the popular magic Tree house series, Jack and Annie are chosen by Morgan to be artists that find themselves in Yosemite with John Muir during President Roosevelt’s time in office.  As they draw the wildlife, they encounter the last grizzly bear.  The tour ends with President Roosevelt agreeing to make Yosemite a National Park.  Ford’s black and white illustrations are scattered throughout.  An editing note:  the first illustration features Jack running to the tree house with a backpack on, while the text specifically says he forgot it.  Readers will notice.
