Teachers will love this book! It puts facts into a child's perspective instead of just memorizing facts.
Our 50 States

What a great way to teach young children about US Geography. My daughter loves the map in the front of the book to trace out routes to new and exciting adventures. When she gets to the state her adventure ends, we read that page together. At 4, she really loves to learn about the states.
Very valuable reading for all American children

It is a great book for children to learn about America, its geography, history, and much more. I don't know why some reviewers even mention their political orientation here. It has really nothing to with the great book. It is a perfect educational volume for children, no matter by whom it was written. It reminds me very much of the third book from the series Cats are rascals, in which the readers also learn a lot about American history and geography by following the Oregon Trail with all the cats back in the year 1862. Check it out at Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3)
Interactive, learning book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
My presents to my grandchildren usually involve items that have to be shared with one of their parents because I have this funny idea that interaction between them is to be encouraged. This book is going to be combined with a puzzle of the United States. By giving them to the six-year old granddaughter, then they can be passed down to the four-year old at a later date.

I bought this book for my 10 year old grandson. Before giving it to him for Christmas, I looked through it. I hope he will use this book while doing his homework. It is very well written and appeals to, not only children, but I learned somethings from it too.
