The Great Smoky Mountain Salamander Ball

Welcome to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Salamander Capital of the World.  Inside this book you'll follow Sara on a camping trip to the Smokies and share her delight as she becomes the first human ever to witness a Salamander Ball.  Over 27 species of salamanders live in the park, including the red-cheeked, which lives nowhere else on Earth.  It's this wondrous diversity of life that makes the Great Smoky Mountains so special, earning them protection as a national park.
