In an intimate and charming way, Sloan Heermance captures the wonder that we all feel when we encounter Yellowstone’s beauty through the eyes of her teddy bear friend Venture, and manages to teach us about America’s first national park along the way. Here’s to more adventures for Venture ahead! — Charissa Reid, Yellowstone Expedition Guide author

Welcome!

Venture to the Yellowstone and Venture to the Smokies

Join Venture the traveling teddy bear™ as he explores Yellowstone and Great Smoky Mountains national parks.

Venture guides children ages six to twelve (and all those who are young at heart) to the wonders of two of the most beautiful national parks in the United States. With child-friendly information, abundant photographs, and engaging activities, children learn about the beauty and unique features of each park.

The books provide excellent opportunities for interactive reading experiences by reading aloud and working together on the many activities, as well as offering independent reading opportunities. Schoolteachers appreciate the ready-made curriculum these books provide.

To enhance the reading experience, a small, plush Venture bear can accompany the books. Children can take their own little Venture, journal, and camera on adventures and create and enjoy the reading-writing connection.
