A home reference and travel companion for
children eager to know more about America, State
by State Atlas shows in maps, pictures,
illustrations, and fact boxes how each state
fits into its part of the union. Arranged
regionally to give readers an overview of
the distinct areas of the country, this book
creates a clear and easy to understand way
of learning American geography and culture.
Each state's landscape, industry, agriculture,
population, history, and folkways are explored
in a vibrant information book children will
want to use throughout their school age years.
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8--This visually attractive guide to the states divides the nation
into seven major regions. For each area, a short time line lists events
as diverse as the Battle of Gettysburg and the completion of Mt. Rushmore.
The spread for each state offers information on the bird, flower, tree,
population, ranking in statehood, and land area. Two paragraphs of general
description and history introduce the state, while additional bits of
information in caption form are provided. A short profile of a historical
figure or current celebrity is included, such as Madonna from Michigan
and Susan B. Anthony from New York. Colorful maps, photos, and drawings
alternate with the scattered text. As a supplemental source for state
reports, this is an adequate work but most online encyclopedias or even
state sites will provide more comprehensive information.--Eva Elisabeth
