About Ranger Baldy and the Disappearing Waterfall
Born in a zoo because two-leggers destroyed his parents' forest home, Ranger Baldy of the Animal Ranger Corps appreciates how precious Nature is. Since being freed into the wild, Ranger Baldy has been on constant patrol searching for trouble and protecting Earth's treasures from those who might cause them harm. When Yosemite National Park's grandest waterfall mysteriously disappears, Ranger Baldy soars into action. "The book's combination of gorgeously painted backgrounds and cartoon animals works brilliantly and may encourage young readers to take an interest in Yosemite and other national parks. Baldy is exactly the type of hero that young animal lovers and conservationists will eagerly follow: brave, kind and willing to learn from his mistakes. Early elementary schoolers, whether independent readers or lap-readers, will be eager for more of Baldy's adventures."- Kirkus Reviews (starred)
